⚡ One-Shot Terminal

If you want to run a single command or prompt in the terminal shell without entering interactive mode, you can use the "one-shot" feature. This is useful for quick tasks or scripting.

To use one-shot mode, simply provide your prompt as a command-line argument:

janito "what are the key classes of this project?"

Janito will process your request and exit after displaying the result.

Model and Provider Selection

You can specify which model and provider to use for your one-shot command:

# Traditional approach
janito -p openai -m gpt-4 "what are the key classes of this project?"

# Shorthand syntax (model@provider)
janito -m gpt-4@openai "what are the key classes of this project?"

# Using a different provider
janito -m claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929@anthropic "analyze this codebase"

Shell Command Execution

Janito supports executing shell commands in one-shot mode using the built-in run_bash_command and run_powershell_command tools:

# Execute a bash command
janito "run_bash_command('ls -la')"

# Execute a PowerShell command  
janito "run_powershell_command('Get-Process | Select-Object Name, CPU')"

Quick Permission Setup

For one-shot mode, you can quickly enable all tool permissions using the /rwx prefix:

# Enable read, write, and execute permissions
janito /rwx "create a python script and run it"

# Or use individual flags
janito -r -w -x "create a python script and run it"

⚠️ Warning: Some models may not complete all required steps in a single-shot (one-off) run. If the model does not act as expected, try appending "; just do it" to your command-line prompt to encourage direct action.
