Configuration

Configuration is stored in .config.json in the same directory as the script (not in the user home directory).

• The API key and model are prompted for on first use, or can be set via CLI flags.
• Obtain your Lunos API key from https://lunos.tech/dashboard/api-keys.

Development

• Source code is located in the src/ directory, organized by functionality:

  • src/index.ts — Main entry point
  • src/config.ts — Configuration utilities
  • src/git.ts — Git integration utilities
  • src/lunos.ts — Lunos API integration
  • src/cli.ts — Command-line interface and credential management

• Build output is generated in the dist/ directory.

• TypeScript is configured with src/ as the root directory.
