WinkTerm - AI that shares your terminal session, not a side panel

Open-source AI terminal where the AI shares your PTY. Type # question at your shell prompt — AI answers inline and can pre-fill its suggested command. Enter to run, Backspace to edit. You stay the operator. BYO LLM (Anthropic/OpenAI/Ollama/any OpenAI-compatible). Self-host Docker / desktop app (Win/macOS) / Android thin client. Built-in SSH + file transfer. HTTP Agent API so Claude Code / Cursor can drive it remotely. MIT, no telemetry.

I was tired of every "AI in the terminal" being a chatbot in a side panel that says "run this command" and leaves me to copy-paste. The AI never actually saw what my shell saw. WinkTerm puts the AI in the same PTY — same scrollback, same cwd, same exit codes. You stay in control: pre-fill, not auto-execute.
