CLI Overview

The CLI has five main surfaces:

• ollm prompt — one-shot scripted prompting
• ollm chat — interactive chat
• ollm doctor — diagnostics and runtime inspection
• ollm models — discovery, inspection, download, and path reporting
• ollm serve — local-only REST API server

Shared runtime controls

These commands share the same runtime-planning vocabulary:

• --model
• --models-dir
• --device
• --backend
• --multimodal
• --no-specialization
• --plan-json

See the per-command pages for the full behavior of each surface.
