ByteAsk CLI v0.1.8

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 20:18:45 GMT

ByteAsk CLI v0.1.8

See your tools working - every ByteAsk tool call (autosar_ref, mcu_ref, cpp_godbolt, debug, …) now shows a live cell in the TUI with the tool name, arguments, and result - the same visibility web search always had. Interrupted calls show cleanly; retryable tool replies no longer render as failures.
Referral upgrades - you AND your friend now each get $10 of usage per referral, and 3 successful referrals earn your first month of Pro free. /referral-code shows your live progress.
Reliability: turn-abort no longer leaves stuck in-progress items in thread history.

Install: curl -fsSL https://code.byteask.ai/install.sh | sh · pip install byteask · npm i -g @byteask/cli

Binaries are gzip-compressed; SHA256SUMS lists the checksums.

ByteAsk CLI v0.1.7

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:13:07 GMT

ByteAsk CLI v0.1.7

Grounded reference tools - autosar_ref, mcu_ref, fpga_ref, hft_ref, grid_ref, scpi_ref, x86_ref: page-cited lookups over the ByteAsk corpus for embedded / firmware / hardware / safety-critical C++ (MISRA, AUTOSAR, Intel SDM, IEEE 1547, SCPI, Xilinx, ITCH, and more).
Renamed the native-debugger tools - cpp_debug/cpp_debug_session/cpp_debug_attach/cpp_record → debug/debug_session/debug_attach/debug_record (they debug any native binary, including Rust).
Removed the /app slash command.
Gateway maintenance: auto model routing, Gemini/Anthropic reliability fixes.

Install: curl -fsSL https://code.byteask.ai/install.sh | sh · pip install byteask · npm i -g @byteask/cli
