papote

A terminal chat with a local LLM whose answers are formatted while they stream in — headings, tables, boxed code with syntax highlighting, all re-wrapped live as the answer grows.

papote takes the whole screen: the conversation above, a boxed input below it, the model and hints on the last line.

guarantees reliable, ordered delivery between two hosts.

Where to go

Installing	what you need, and the first run
Configuration	the three TOML files, every key
Commands and keys	/model, /resume, and the keyboard
Markdown support	what gets formatted, and how code is coloured
Saved conversations	where they live and how /resume works
How it works	the screen, the streaming, the rendering
Limitations	what it deliberately does not do
Development	tests, the file map, the dependencies
