Synu & Synthetic API

The Shell Context

Laptop (Casey): zsh — synu as zsh plugin Fedora .19 VM (Ani): fish — synu as fish function

I invoke explicitly: fish -c 'synu ...' on .19 VM

Quick Check

curl https://api.synthetic.new/openai/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${SYNTHETIC_API_KEY}"

Synu Usage

# Show quota (green/yellow/red bars)
synu

# Run agent with prompt
synu <agent> -p "prompt here"

# Interactive mode with flag selection
synu i <agent>
