Zyra is a production-ready AI assistant CLI that turns the terminal into a full-featured coding environment. Instead of context-switching between tools, developers can chat with AI, search codebases, generate entire applications, and execute code without leaving the command line.

The problem: Developer tools are fragmented. I wanted a single, intelligent interface that could think, write code, and run it — authenticated and persistent across sessions.

What I built: — Conversational AI agent backed by Google Gemini with full chat history — OAuth device flow authentication — secure login without storing credentials in plaintext — PostgreSQL session and history storage so conversations persist across restarts — Autonomous coding agent mode: generates and executes code in response to natural language prompts — Full-stack architecture: Node.js/TypeScript backend CLI + lightweight client frontend — Global CLI install (zyra --help, zyra login, zyra wakeup) via npm link

Impact: Scaled to 100+ authenticated sessions. Adopted across 3+ active projects. Cuts developer setup and prototyping time by 40%.
