Features

Everything a sysadmin needs

From quick AI queries to complex multi-hop SSH workflows — all from your terminal, with any AI provider you choose.

AI Chat

Ask anything — commands, explanations, scripts. Works with any OpenAI-compatible provider including DeepSeek, Ollama, and OpenRouter.

Smart SSH

SSH by server name, not IP. Fuzzy matching, multi-hop via --via, YAML config. Import from ~/.ssh/config automatically.

SSH Connect

AI REPL during active SSH. Ask questions, run !commands on server. No install needed — opsterm connect or Ctrl+B escape.

Workflows

Multi-step YAML automation: SSH to SCP to local commands. Deploy apps, run diagnostics with one command.

Pipe Mode

cmd | opsterm "analyze" — pipe command output for AI analysis. Detect errors, get insights, explain complex output.

SCP Transfer

Upload/download files by server name: opsterm scp file.txt server:/path. No more scp syntax headaches.

RTK AI

Auto-compress command output 60-95% before AI processing. Save tokens, get faster responses. Zero config if installed.

Tab Completion

Bash + Zsh auto-complete for servers, workflows, and subcommands. Type less, do more.

Secure by Default

AES-128 + PBKDF2 encrypted credential store. Your API keys never leave your machine.

History

SQLite-backed history with search. Revisit, explain, or re-run past commands.

Provider Freedom

Choose any AI provider — OpenAI, DeepSeek, Ollama, OpenRouter, or custom.

Multi-hop SSH

Jump through bastion hosts: opsterm ssh internal --via bastion. ProxyJump built-in.
