Creating a command

Note

Do you find yourself running oterm to get to this one chat that you use all the time? You can create a custom command to get there faster.

You can create custom commands that can be run from the terminal using oterm. Each of these commands is a chat, customized to your liking and connected to the tools of your choice.

To create a custom command, you can call the oterm-command command:

oterm-command create <command-name>

which will present you with the same interface as when creating a chat. You can choose the model, the system propmt, the tools you want to use, etc.

oterm-command will create a self-managed command in ~/.local/bin (make sure the directory is in your PATH) that you can call anytime.

For example, here is the command ogit that I use to chat about my repositories:

It is a chat with the git MCP tool, running using the qwen2.5 model.

Listing commands

You can list all the commands (id, name & path) you have created with the oterm-command command:

oterm-command list
Commands found:
64: ogit -> /Users/ggozad/.local/bin/ogit

Deleting a command

You can delete a command with the oterm-command command:

$ oterm-command delete <command-id>
