GBAM CLI user manual

GBAM is a terminal chat app for working with AI conversations and real project context. The CLI is the part of the system that can access your local repository, read and edit files, and run local commands. The server handles authentication, persistence, model orchestration, billing, and streamed responses.

AGENTS.md

AGENTS.md is the repository-specific guidance file GBAM uses to give the agent local instructions such as coding conventions, test steps, review rules, or deployment notes. It is discovered locally by the CLI and then forwarded to the server as part of each chat request.

Automatic bootstrap

Before sending your first prompt in a project, the CLI ensures there is anAGENTS.mdfile at the project root. If one does not exist, GBAM creates a starter file for you.

What gets sent

  • agentsMdHash for change detection
  • agentsMdContent so the server can inject current guidance
  • projectPath so tool execution is scoped correctly
