`llm` `0.32a2` adds `responses` API support for OpenAI reasoning models
70radar
llmCLI tool — exposes reasoning and tool-call flow
OpenAI reasoning models now route through /v1/responses, so llm can show summarized reasoning tokens alongside tool-use runs. Useful if you script GPT-5-class workflows from the CLI and want better visibility without building your own trace UI.
- OpenAI reasoning-capable models in llm now use /v1/responses instead of chat/completions, matching the newer tool-calling path.
- Reasoning summaries are surfaced directly in CLI output with separate coloring, which makes agent runs easier to inspect during debugging.
- -R and --hide-reasoning let you suppress that trace when logs need to stay clean or machine-readable.

Run `llm` Directly from a Script Shebang
50radar
LLMCLI tool — turns prompt files into executable scripts
Plain-text prompts and YAML templates can become runnable scripts with llm. Useful for tiny automations and tool-calling helpers when shell-level speed matters.
- A shebang like #!/usr/bin/env -S llm -f turns an English text file into an executable prompt, lowering friction for one-off generators.
- Adding -T enables tool calls inside the script, so time lookups or other helpers can run without wrapping everything in Python.
- YAML templates can define Python functions and execute them via llm -t, pushing lightweight agent behavior into a single file.
- The shown calc example chains multiply and add with --td debug output, making tool execution transparent enough for quick internal utilities.

`Claude Code`: Ask for HTML, Not Markdown
40radar
Claude CodeCoding agent — HTML outputs make long reviews easier
HTML outputs unlock SVG, navigation, and interactive explanations instead of plain prose. Token efficiency matters less now, so rich review artifacts and code walkthroughs are worth trying immediately.
- A concrete prompt asks for an HTML PR review with inline diff annotations and severity colors, turning review output into a browsable artifact.
- The older reason to prefer Markdown was the 8,192-token era; that tradeoff weakened as context windows grew.
- HTML lets the model embed SVG, navigation, widgets, and styling in one response, which improves long technical explanations.
- A test run with gpt-5.5 on an obfuscated Linux exploit produced a usable interactive explainer, though prompt focus still mattered.
