Chatblade is a Python CLI tool for querying OpenAI's ChatGPT from the terminal, supporting piped input, saved prompt preambles, session recall, streaming, and JSON/Markdown extraction from responses. The project is now archived and no longer maintained.

Use cases

• query chatgpt from the command line
• pipe shell output into chatgpt and get an answer
• extract json from llm responses in a script
• save reusable prompt preambles
• continue a previous chatgpt conversation in the terminal
• switch between gpt models from the cli

When to choose

• you need a lightweight terminal client for OpenAI models and don't mind an unmaintained tool
• you want to script LLM calls with piped input and JSON extraction

When to avoid

• you want an actively maintained tool - the repo is archived; consider llm or Fabric instead
• you need providers other than OpenAI
• you need streaming or features beyond what the last release supports
