Project Report #10 • What did Talanov work on using Codex? • 2026-10-20 → 2026-10-27
AskAI — Unified multi-agent CLI wizard & Oct 20 launcher alias cleanup.
Concluded the Oct 20 shell alias cleanup thread so askai and ,askai invoke the v0.1.0 Charm Gum launcher cleanly without shell interception; v0.2.0 dynamic OpenRouter catalog is next.
Mission & Commercial Positioning
What AskAI Is
AskAI is a unified Bash + Charm Gum interactive terminal wizard and headless CLI wrapper for launching AI coding agents (agy, codex, ori, crush) with normalized model, reasoning-effort, and preset flags. It eliminates flag-syntax friction across agent harnesses and supports both interactive 5-step TUI selection and piped stdin execution (git diff | askai codex).
Commercial Rationale (76/100)
Unified Charm Gum terminal wizard and pipeline wrapper normalizing flags across agy, codex, ori, and crush.
Current Milestone (As of Oct 27)
Concluded the Oct 20 Codex conversation removing the conflicting shell alias that intercepted the askai launcher, verifying that both askai and ,askai execute cleanly from fresh shells against the v0.1.0 baseline (91efffa). Unrelated CONVOS.md and .ori/ files remain preserved in the worktree.
