## Install

### Option A: npm (recommended)

```bash
npm install -g @maximoai/maximo-syntax-cli
```

### Option B: From source (requires Bun)

Use Bun 1.3.11 or newer for source builds on Windows. Older Bun versions such as 1.3.4 can fail with a large batch of unresolved module errors during `bun run build`.

```bash
# Clone from maximoai
git clone https://github.com/maximoai/maximo-syntax-cli.git
cd maximo-syntax-cli

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Build
bun run build

# Link globally (optional)
npm link
```

---

## Usage

After installation, you can invoke the CLI using any of the following commands:

- `syntax`
- `maximo`
- `maximo-syntax`
- `maximo-syntax-cli`
- `claude`

All five commands are equivalent and natively supported.

## Quick Start

### 1. Set up Maximo AI (Recommended)

Maximo Syntax CLI uses Maximo AI as the default provider. Get your API key from [Maximo AI](https://maximoai.co/platform) and set the following environment variables:

```bash
export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-maximo-api-key
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.maximoai.co/v1
export OPENAI_MODEL=maximo-pandora-3.6-nano
```

Or create a `.env` file in your project directory:

```
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-maximo-api-key
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.maximoai.co/v1
OPENAI_MODEL=maximo-pandora-3.6-nano
```

### 2. Run Maximo Syntax CLI

```bash
maximo
```

## Alternative Providers

### OpenAI / Any OpenAI-compatible provider (GPT-4o, DeepSeek, Ollama, Groq)

```bash
export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
export OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o
```

### Google Gemini (free key at https://aistudio.google.com/apikey)

```bash
