AI Consilium

AI Consilium is an intelligent CLI tool that helps you generate comprehensive project documentation by asking relevant questions about your project and generating detailed markdown documentation. It can also be widely configured to support different LLM providers and models, both locally and hosted. It can all be shared with your team.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• npm (v7 or higher)
• LLM Studio or access to a hosted LLM provider

Installation

npm i ai-consilium -g

This will make the ai-consilium command available globally on your system.

Before generating documentation, run configure to set up your LLM provider and model & various settings.
