v1.10.0

I'm directing clai towards becoming the goto for cli-native powerusers. With the addition of clai -r chat dir it's possible to attach metadata to the shell:

1. Profile
2. Am tokens used
3. Dirscope/global scope

The idea is to continue this journey, wherever it takes us. So while it's possible to do agentic coding, there are better tools for this. Clai is
a lot less convenient, requires more setup. But, in these configurations, value lies. I've found clai to be much more token efficient. I
append more context to hone in on a solution to each reply, it's very easy to do so. The requirement is solid terminal comprehension and alignment
to unix pipes + principles.

Breaking changes (v1.10.0)

• Removed clai cmd command.
• Removed clai chat new (chat shell is now always the input; interactive creation is redundant).
• Refactor(breaking): Tools API changed from Tools → RequestedToolGlobs (and tools moved into a public package / new injection approach).

Major features

• Chat UX upgrades:
  • Continue chat with same profile; profiles are attached to chats.
  • clai chat list improvements: shows profile + token usage; selection by number + Enter; better failure handling (lists chats if ID not found).
  • Smarter continuation behavior: empty-string continue can fall back dirscope → globalscope; auto-fallback to globalscoped chat if dirscoped missing.
  • clai chat dir added (dir-scoped chat functionality).
  • Conversations are always saved, even on exceptions; added replay/dirscope related improvements incl -dre query support.
• MCP / toolchain improvements:
  • MCP servers can be defined in profiles; envfile support added to MCP spec.
  • Tool selection fixes (GlobToolSelection) and ability to inject/register tools via public package; output can be routed to an io.Writer.
  • Limit agentic tool calls (pkg-level guardrail).
• Provider/model updates:
  • Huggingface provider support.
  • Default model tweak gpt-5-2 → gpt-5.2.
  • Sora 2 supports input images (PNG only).
• Quality/docs/testing:
  • Goldenfile test suite added (incl architecture docs); new/updated architecture docs, examples, showcase.
  • CI/test coverage workflow updates; general lint/vet/cleanup; clai version fixed (again) and clai help formatting fixed.
• Config/paths:
  • Support overriding Clai config directory; robust XDG_CONFIG_HOME handling; consistent config-dir resolution (GetClaiConfigDir).

This one is pretty cool! Using clai -profile-path <path-to-profile> query <some user prompt> it's possible to "build" agents by simply writing a json file.

Example: go run github.com/baalimago/clai@latest -prp examples/profiles/trade-bot.json query 'Run your hourly trade'. This needs npx and pnpx to work due to the mcp servers.

v1.9.0

I've introduced breaking changes for the -t/tools flag, hence bump to minor instead of hotfix. The flag is no longer a bool, but a
a string, so running it like clai -t q Hello use some tools wont work. Instead you need to use clai -t= q... or clai -t=* q .... The reason
for this is since it's now possible to specify which tools to use, clai -t=file_tree q Inspect file structure.

Features:

• Clai as a tool - This enables recursive calling clai -t=clai_* q Please create some workers which research quantum physics
• New subcommands clai tools + clai profiles so that clai can get context on how it's configured
• Exported clai as a package: it's now possible to build other apps using clai as agentic engine
• Pipe in images into omni-models and for image editing
• New subcommand clai video <prompt> - Video generation with Sora 2
• Vendors/models for: grok, gemini-3-pro, gemini-flash-image + fixed support for novita and mixtral
