DISCLAIMER:

This is a cleanroom implementation derived from the Claude Code npm package, extended with Ollama integration for WSL environments.

Claude Code is a product by Anthropic. This is an independent implementation. Do not contact Anthropic regarding this source code.

Term-Code is a terminal-based AI coding assistant that helps you code faster by executing routine tasks, explaining complex code, and answering programming questions - all through natural language commands. While it preserves the core functionality of Claude Code, it has been optimized for Ollama integration in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environments.

• 🤖 Multi-provider support: Works with both Claude API and local Ollama models
• 🐧 WSL optimized: Special handling for WSL to Windows host communication via host.docker.internal
• 💬 Natural language interface: Ask questions, explain code, fix bugs, and refactor with simple commands
• 🔄 Code assistance: Get help with programming tasks in various languages
• 🛠️ Robust error handling: Gracefully handles connection issues and module resolution
• 🔧 Easy configuration: Simple setup with minimal dependencies

Term-Code consists of several key components:

• run-term-code.js: Main entry point optimized for Ollama with environment variable setup
• ollama.js: Standalone client for direct Ollama API access
• Helper scripts: Various utilities for installation and configuration

For detailed installation and usage instructions, please see the claude-code/README.md file.

Quick WSL installation:

# Navigate to the project directory
cd term-code/claude-code
# Make the script executable
chmod +x run-term-code.js
# Create a symlink for easier access
mkdir -p ~/bin
ln -sf "$(pwd)/run-term-code.js" ~/bin/tcode
# Set up Ollama configuration to connect to Windows host
echo "SERVER_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434" > ~/.ollama_config
echo "OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434" >> ~/.ollama_config

Use Term-Code with simple commands:

# Ask coding questions
tcode ask "How do I implement binary search in JavaScript?"
# Work with Ollama models
tcode ollama:list
tcode ollama:use deepseek-r1:8b
