Quick Start

Run thndrs from the repository you want to work in:

Terminal window
thndrs

The first launch opens required setup. Choose a provider, authenticate, and select a model before submitting a coding prompt. thndrs setup provides the guided CLI credential and configuration route; its selected provider supplies the initial model. Use the TUI /model command or configuration to choose a different model.

Terminal window
thndrs setup --provider chatgpt-codex
thndrs setup --provider umans

To point thndrs at a different workspace:

Terminal window
thndrs --cwd /path/to/repo

For ChatGPT Codex, setup starts browser OAuth by default. In a headless or remote environment, choose device code explicitly with:

Terminal window
thndrs login chatgpt-codex --oauth-method device-code
