Neuron CLI — AI skill for Claude Code

Neuron

Neuron is an open-source coding-agent CLI for cloud and local model providers.

Use OpenAI-compatible APIs, Gemini, GitHub Models, Codex OAuth, Codex, Ollama, Atomic Chat, and other supported backends while keeping one terminal-first workflow: prompts, tools, agents, MCP, slash commands, and streaming output.

Why Neuron

• Use one CLI across cloud APIs and local model backends
• Save provider profiles inside the app with /provider
• Run with OpenAI-compatible services, Gemini, GitHub Models, Codex OAuth, Codex, Ollama, Atomic Chat, and other supported providers
• Keep coding-agent workflows in one place: bash, file tools, grep, glob, agents, tasks, MCP, and web tools

Quick Start

Install

npm i @marwan_reyad/neuron-agent

If the install later reports `ripgrep not found`, install ripgrep system-wide and confirm `rg --version` works in the same terminal before starting Neuron.

Start

neuron

If the global install gets into a bad state later, run:

neuron repair

Inside Neuron:

• run /provider for guided provider setup and saved profiles
• run /onboard-github for GitHub Models onboarding
