Lmcli v0.5.0 introduces image support to a lightweight, Go-based LLM command-line tool designed for minimal abstraction between users and models.

Lmcli is written in Go for fast performance with a lean codebase, designed as a minimalist alternative to heavy LLM interfaces

The tool supports agentic tool-calling loops and allows users to configure custom agents through system prompts and available tools rather than using built-in agents

Version 0.5.0 adds image attachment support to conversations within the terminal user interface (TUI)

The project includes an example of building a coding agent with Lmcli that reportedly works effectively

Features have been added gradually based on perceived fundamental use-cases rather than bloating the tool with unnecessary abstractions
