Developer builds language model REPL using only Bash and command-line tools

A developer has created a language model REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) using only standard command-line tools like Bash, jq, and curl, minimizing dependencies. This agent framework, named 'llayer', is designed for flexibility, allowing users to easily inject tools for inspecting and auditing the agent loop. It supports plug-and-play backends, with Ollama tested and OpenAI-API compatible REST interfaces expected to work, storing agent memory in an append-only history file for transparency. AI

IMPACT Enables more accessible and transparent local LLM agent development with minimal dependencies.

RANK_REASON The item describes a new software tool/framework created by an individual developer.
