Crush – terminal-based AI assistant

Crush is a powerful terminal-based AI assistant that helps with software development tasks.

It provides an interactive chat interface with AI capabilities, code analysis,  and LSP integration  to assist developers in writing, debugging, and understanding code directly from the terminal.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Multi-Model: choose from a wide range of LLMs or add your own via OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible APIs.
• Flexible: switch LLMs mid-session while preserving context.
• Session-Based: maintain multiple work sessions and contexts per project.
• LSP-Enhanced: Crush uses LSPs for additional context, just like you do.
• Extensible: add capabilities via MCPs (http, stdio, and sse).
• Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, *BSD, macOS, and Windows.
