Do I need the nito CLI at all?
No, not for everyday prompting. The plugin does the work from inside your chat. The CLI is there for installing and repairing the integration, and for running Nito from the terminal or a script when you want to.
What can I do from the terminal that I cannot do in a chat?
Install and authorize a harness (nito setup), check the health of your setup (nito doctor), keep everything current (nito update), and start a fully Nito-routed session from a script. See CLI Overview.
Can I ask a question without opening a chat?
Yes.nito ask "your question" prints an answer and exits, and nito fusion runs a multi-model Fusion. See Ask and Fusion.
A command says Nito is not connected. What do I do?
Runnito doctor to see what is wrong, nito agent login to sign in, then re-run your command once. See Doctor and Update and Troubleshooting.
