in plain english

Waz is a terminal application (the screen where developers type text commands) that brings AI tools directly into your command-line workflow. The core idea: instead of copying error messages into a separate browser tab to ask an AI for help, Waz lets you plug in AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or DeepSeek so the AI assists you right where you are working. It also manages remote server connections and keeps your data on your own machine by default. What makes this project different from the Warp terminal it is built on is the removal of mandatory cloud services. You do not need to create an account, log in, or sync your history to someone else's servers. You can use any compatible AI service by providing your own access keys, and those keys stay local to your computer. External command-line AI tools like Claude Code or Codex CLI can also be wired directly into the terminal's interface. The standout feature is something called the Token Model Protocol. At a practical level, this lets teams define structured descriptions of their command-line tools. These definitions serve two purposes: they power smarter autocomplete when you are typing commands (like suggesting which git branch or cargo package you might want), and they give AI agents a safe, structured way to run commands on your behalf. When an AI wants to execute a command, Waz validates the input and sanitizes it to prevent dangerous or malicious code execution. This tool is built for developers and technical teams who spend significant time in the terminal and want AI assistance without sacrificing privacy or control. A team working on a shared codebase could check these command schemas into their repository, ensuring everyone gets the same smart autocomplete and AI tool access. Because untrusted code could abuse custom commands, Waz enforces a strict security boundary, only explicitly trusted project folders can run dynamic commands, and built-in tools run in a locked-down environment to prevent attacks. Built in Rust, Waz is an independent evolution of the Warp terminal, focused on giving users a locally-controlled, highly customizable alternative to cloud-dependent developer tools.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1
I want to add a custom command schema for my team's deployment script so Waz can autocomplete it and let AI run it safely. Show me how to write a Token Model Protocol definition for a command called 'deploy' that takes an environment argument.
prompt 2
Help me configure Waz to use my own OpenAI API key locally without syncing anything to the cloud. Walk me through the setup step by step.
prompt 3
I have Waz installed and I want to wire Claude Code CLI directly into the terminal interface. What configuration do I need to add?
prompt 4
Create a Token Model Protocol command definition for 'git-branch-switch' that suggests branch names and validates the branch exists before an AI agent can run it.
