nito command line brings Nito to your terminal: ask a question, compare models with Fusion, run a private prompt your harness never sees, or launch a full Claude Code or Codex session routed through Nito. One browser sign-in, no API key, reaches every model across every provider, and each answer names the model and privacy level that served it.
If you installed the plugin, you already have it: setup installed nito alongside the plugin, and it is what powers private, session launches, and file attachments behind the scenes. Most people never run it directly, but reach for it to install or repair a harness, to ask or run Fusion without opening a chat, or to launch a Nito-routed session from a script.
These commands run in your terminal. Plugin commands like
/nito:ask and $nito:ask run inside a Claude Code or Codex session. Same account either way, but not the same place to type.Install
From nothing to a first answer in three commands. No API key:nito signs in through your browser and keeps the credential in your OS keychain.
