ai image

Create $HOME/ai/settings with .claude.tmpl.json:

{
  "bypassPermissionsModeAccepted": true,
  "hasCompletedOnboarding": true,
  "primaryApiKey": "op://vault-name/long-id/password",
}

or .claude.json or .claude.<profile>.json (and optionally .credentials.<profile>.json with oauth tokens)

Add AGENTS.md to $HOME/ai/settings if you want. It will populate CLAUDE.md for Claude Code and GEMINI.md for Gemini CLI.

# start podman and share the current working directory
bin/ai
bin/ai --1p # if you want to use claude.tmpl.json with op:// reference

# start services (and run "bundle install" if Gemfile.lock exist)
s

# launch claude
cool_claude

# launch claude with a specific config
cool_claude <profile>

# launch gemini
g

# launch openai codex
oc

Prerequisites

Your Anthropic API key in 1Password.

brew install podman
# memory is in MiB, disk in GiB
podman machine init --disk-size 200 --memory 8192 --now

./build_image

# rebuild all layers and pull latest base image
./build_image --force

Tricks

zsh things:

# pod       # list all running containers
# pod <id>  # launch bash shell in selected container
# pod last  # launch bash shell in the youngest container
function pod() {
    [ $# -lt 1 ] && podman ps && return 0

    [ "$1" = "last" ] && podman exec -it $(podman ps | tail -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 1) ${2:-bash} && return

    local container
    container=$1
    podman exec -it $container ${2:-bash}
}

Commands

podman run --rm -it --cap-add=NET_RAW --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --net=container:<container> nicolaka/netshoot tcpdump -i eth0

# to see current settings
podman machine inspect

# when we can't build because we're out of space
podman system prune--all

# to combat this error related to "Linux Kernel Keyring quota"
# Error: preparing container ... for attach: crun: join keyctl `...`: Disk quota exceeded: OCI runtime error
podman machine ssh sudo sysctl -w kernel.keys.maxkeys=20000
podman machine ssh sudo sysctl -w kernel.keys.maxbytes=200000
