Highlights

  • Self-described footprint of 15 MB and ~31 ms, with sub-agents, anchored sloppy edits, a permission gate, and progressive MCP.
  • Native diff review and code selection; model providers listed are OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini.
  • Install on macOS or Linux via the repo's install.sh piped to bash; Windows uses install.ps1 with PowerShell 5.1+.
  • First launch needs a model: phi config opens the config editor, creating ~/.phi and writing ~/.phi/config.yaml.
  • Topics include jev and jev-api and the repo was found via topic:jev; the README excerpt stops before any Jev explanation.

Quickstart

bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pulseaiclub/phi/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
phi config

Watch out

README excerpt reviewed 2026-10-17; the digest cuts off mid-code-block in the first-launch env-var example, so the Jev connection rests on the repo's jev and jev-api topics alone, with no endpoint, model, or pricing details shown. The 15 MB and ~31 ms figures are the project's own, with no stated measurement conditions.
