Quickstart

Get from install to a useful first turn in a few minutes.

1. Open a project

cd your-project
anturno

2. Connect a model

Anturno has no built-in provider. Add a model entry (see Models & config), then in the TUI:

/connect <id>
/model <id>

Paste the API key when prompted, or pass it as /connect <id> <key>.

3. Ask for something concrete

Type a prompt and press Enter. Prefer a scoped task over a vague request — for example, “summarize the auth flow in this repo” or “add a failing test for X”.

4. Pick a mode

Cycle modes with ⇧Tab, or set them explicitly:

Mode	Command	Behavior
Ask	`/ask`	Q&A, no tools
Plan	`/plan`	Read-only planning + plan gate
Agent	`/agent`	Read, write, and bash

Start in ask or plan when you want orientation; switch to agent when you are ready for edits.

5. Steer and cancel

Esc cancels the active turn
Ctrl+O opens raw tool evidence for the turn
/help lists keys and common commands
/clear starts a new conversation

When you are ready to push work out of the session, /diff, /commit, and /pr cover review and handoff. Full list: Slash commands.
