## What is Toad?

Toad is a terminal-based interface for AI agents from [Will McGugan](https://github.com/willmcgugan), creator of Rich and Textual. It connects to AI models via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

## Quick Start

### 1. Install Toad

```bash
curl -fsSL batrachian.ai/install | sh
```

Or for Python developers:

```bash
uv tool install -U batrachian-toad
```

### 2. Authenticate with Hugging Face

```bash
hf auth login
```

Or set your `HF_TOKEN` environment variable.

### 3. Launch and select HF Inference Providers

```bash
toad
```

Select **"Hugging Face Inference Providers"** from the Recommended section.

### 4. Switch models

Use `/set-model` in the chat to change the active model.
