I've been using GitHub Copilot CLI, and while it's great, I found myself wanting something that could work with any LLM (including running local models through Ollama), so I built Skeet.

The key features that make it different:

- Works with any LLM provider through LiteLLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, etc.)

- Automatically retries and adapts commands when they fail

- Can generate and execute Python scripts with dependencies (powered by uv) without virtual environment hassles

You can try simple tasks like:

```

skeet show me system information

skeet what is using port 8000

skeet --python "what's the current time on the ISS?"

```

Code: https://github.com/knowsuchagency/skeet

I built it for myself, and I've been really happy with the results. It's interesting to see how different models fare against one another with everyday tasks. If running a local model, I've had decent luck with ollama_chat/phi3:medium but I'm curious to know what others use.

Cheers!
