## What it is
Cougar CLI is an AI programming agent that runs in the terminal, letting developers interact with LLMs to write and manage code from the command line. It supports multiple providers including OpenRouter, OpenAI, Claude, Zhipu, and any OpenAI-compatible API.

## Use cases
- ai coding assistant in the terminal
- chat with llm from command line
- use claude or openai in a cli agent
- connect to any openai-compatible api provider
- image input to ai agent in terminal
- ai pair programmer for the shell

## When to choose
- you want an AI coding agent that lives in your terminal
- you need multi-provider LLM support including OpenAI-compatible endpoints
- you work on Windows and need image input via drag-and-drop or paste

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI-based AI coding assistant
- you require IDE integration rather than a command-line workflow
- you need a mature tool with long-term production track record
