wildcard/caro — Caro: fast Rust CLI that turns natural‑language tasks into a safe POSIX command.

Description and use

wildcard/caro is a high‑performance Rust command‑line tool that translates natural‑language instructions into safe, POSIX‑compatible commands. Designed for macOS with native MLX/Metal acceleration, it includes a built‑in model and can also interface with vLLM, Ollama, or LM Studio, delivering JSON‑only output with safety checks, user confirmation, and multi‑step goal handling. A ready‑to‑use devcontainer makes setup and contribution straightforward.

Problem

wildcard/caro helps add AI capability without starting from a blank model stack.

Outcome

Early or unclear: treat as research material until maintenance, releases, docs, and issue activity are verified.

Workflow

• prototype AI features
• build RAG or agent workflows
• evaluate model tooling
