YassWorks/Ally ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a private AI assistant I can run from my terminal.

I want it to feel like a normal CLI chat, but with the ability to help me with files, folders, simple coding tasks, and shell commands when I approve them. It should support local models first through Ollama, but also let me switch to cloud providers if I want. Please include a way to point it at a folder of my files so it can answer questions from my own documents, and let me turn that mode on and off easily.

I’d also like a project creation flow where I can describe an app idea and it helps me brainstorm, then generate a starter project and keep chatting to refine it. Keep it privacy focused, lightweight, and easy to set up with a config file and environment variables. If you need to check current docs for any provider or model setup, go ahead and look them up online.
