## Installation

Prerequisites:

```sh
# install https://github.com/peterdemin/openai-cli
pip install openai-cli

# configure openai api key https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
echo "YOUR_OPENAPI_TOKEN" > ~/.config/openai.token

# alternatively using environment variable
export OPENAI_API_TOKEN="YOUR_OPENAPI_TOKEN"
```

Add plugin to your `.vimrc`, e.g. using `vim-plug`:

```vim
Plug 'madox2/vim-ai'
```

## Usage

### Basic usage

`:AI {prompt}` - completes selected text (visual mode) or text on the current line (normal mode). Passing optional `{prompt}` parameter prepends it to the final prompt.

### Key bindings

Map keys in your `.vimrc` to trigger `:AI` command.

```vim
nnoremap <leader>a :AI<CR>
vnoremap <leader>a :AI<CR>
```

### Custom commands

To customize and re-use prompts it is useful to put some context to the language model. You can do it with prepending text to `:AI` command.

```vim
" key binding with custom context
vnoremap <leader>s :AI fix grammar and spelling and use formal language<CR>
nnoremap <leader>s :AI fix grammar and spelling and use formal language<CR>

" command with custom context
command! -range -nargs=? AICode <line1>,<line2>call AIRun("Programming syntax is " . &filetype, <f-args>)
```
