Transform your terminal into a multilingual, AI-augmented command center โ where Claude API meets OpenAI, and productivity finds its native language.
This project is licensed under the MIT License. See the LICENSE file for full terms.
Kivun-Terminal reimagines the command-line experience as a cross-platform productivity portal for Windows and macOS. Born from the philosophy that a terminal should be proactive, multilingual, and context-aware, this orchestrator combines Claude Code installation with a suite of enhancements that turn your shell into a responsive digital atelier.
Think of it as the architect's drafting table โ not just executing commands, but conversing with AI, transforming output across languages, and orchestrating workflows that span from local scripts to cloud API calls.
