coding-human

A CLI tool for real-time Q&A between a client and a programmer over WebSocket.

Programmers register themselves in a queue; clients browse the queue and connect to a programmer of their choice.

Install

cargo install --git https://github.com/ut-code/cli

Usage

Programmer: join the queue

coding-human serve <LABEL>

Registers you in the queue with the given display name, creates a room, and waits for a client to connect. Once connected, questions arrive automatically and you type answers line by line. Press Ctrl+D to finish a response and wait for the next question.

Example:

coding-human serve "Alice (Rust / systems)"

Client: ask a question

coding-human ask

Fetches the list of available programmers, lets you pick one, then opens a session. Type questions at the prompt; answers stream back in real time. Type /quit or press Ctrl+D to exit.
