v1.1.6-beta — AI Assistant
Pac Man can now talk to your AI CLI tool directly from the project manager.
- AI CLI detection - scans your PATH for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Aider, and Gemini CLI. Shows which tools are installed and gives exact install commands for any that aren't.
- Settings → AI Tools - one-click to enable a detected tool; stays active across sessions.
- Greyed sidebar tab - the AI tab shows at reduced opacity until a tool is configured, with a tooltip explaining what to do. Clicking it takes you straight to setup.
- Per-project chat - pick any project and get a streaming chat window. The AI receives compact context: git branch, status, last commit, open todos, and available run commands.
- Token-efficient - context is sent as a compact header (~300 tokens) and only re-sent when the project state actually changes (hash-checked). Conversations longer than 4 messages compress older exchanges to one-line summaries so token cost stays flat.
- Session persistence - chat history is saved per project and restored on next open.
