Configuration

API Key Management

Rusty CLI stores your GroqCloud API key in a .env file in the project root.

First-Time Setup

On first run, you'll be prompted:

API Key not found.
Enter your GroqCloud API key: gsk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The key is automatically saved to .env:

GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
BRAVE_API_KEY=bsk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Manual Configuration

You can also manually create or edit the .env file:

# Create .env file
echo "GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_key_here" > .env
echo "BRAVE_API_KEY=your_brave_key_here" >> .env

Security Best Practices

  • βœ… Keep .env in .gitignore (already configured)
  • βœ… Never commit API keys to version control
  • βœ… Use environment-specific keys for development/production
  • βœ… Rotate keys periodically
  • βœ… Limit key permissions in GroqCloud console

Environment Variables

You can also set the API key via environment variable:

# Linux/macOS
export GROQ_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
cargo run --release

# Windows PowerShell
$env:GROQ_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
cargo run --release

# Windows CMD
set GROQ_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
cargo run --release

Custom Configuration

While Rusty CLI uses sensible defaults, you can customize behavior by modifying the source code:

// src/main.rs

// Change default model
const MODELS: &[&str] = &[
    "openai/gpt-oss-120b",        // Your preferred model first
    // ... other models
];

// Adjust API endpoint
const GROQ_API_URL: &str = "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions";

Core Components

1. Message System

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, Clone)]
struct Message {
    role: String,      // "user" or "assistant"
    content: String,   // The message content
}

The Message struct represents a single exchange in the conversation. Messages are stored in a vector to maintain conversation history.

2. API Request Handling

#[derive(Debug, Serialize)]
struct ChatRequest {
    model: String,            // Selected AI model
    messages: Vec<Message>,   // Conversation history
    stream: bool,             // Enable/disable streaming
}

The ChatRequest struct is serialized to JSON and sent to the GroqCloud API.

3. Response Processing

// Non-streaming response
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct ChatResponse {
    choices: Vec<Choice>,
}

// Streaming response chunks
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct StreamChunk {
    choices: Vec<StreamChoice>,
}

Responses are deserialized from JSON, handling both streaming and non-streaming modes.

Async Architecture

Rusty CLI leverages Tokio for asynchronous I/O:

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Async runtime automatically manages:
    // - Non-blocking HTTP requests
    // - Concurrent stream processing
    // - Efficient I/O operations
}

Benefits:

  • Non-blocking network operations
  • Efficient resource utilization
  • Smooth user experience
  • Scalable for future features

Performance

Benchmarks

Rusty CLI is designed for speed. Here are typical performance metrics:

Metric Value
Cold start time < 50ms
API request overhead < 10ms
Token streaming latency < 5ms per token
Memory footprint ~5-10MB
Binary size (release) ~8MB
Conversation history limit Unlimited*

*Limited only by available memory and API context windows

Optimization Techniques

1. Async I/O

Non-blocking operations ensure the CLI remains responsive even during network requests.

// Async HTTP request doesn't block the thread
let response = client.post(GROQ_API_URL)
    .json(&request)
    .send()
    .await?;

2. Release Builds

Production builds use aggressive optimizations:

cargo build --release

Optimizations include:

  • Link-time optimization (LTO)
  • Code generation optimization
  • Dead code elimination
  • Inline expansion

3. Streaming Architecture

Token-by-token streaming reduces perceived latency:

// Process tokens as they arrive
while let Some(chunk) = response.chunk().await? {
    print!("{}", token);
    io::stdout().flush().unwrap();
}

4. Memory Efficiency

  • Stack allocation for hot paths
  • Minimal heap allocations
  • Efficient string handling
  • No unnecessary clones

Performance Tips

For Users:

  • Use release builds for production (cargo build --release)
  • Enable streaming mode for faster perceived response times
  • Clear conversation history periodically for long sessions
  • Use Llama 4 Maverick for fastest responses

For Developers:

  • Profile with cargo flamegraph to identify hotspots
  • Use cargo-bloat to analyze binary size
  • Enable LTO in Cargo.toml for maximum optimization
  • Consider tokio-console for async profiling

Development

Setting Up Development Environment

  1. Install Rust

    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
  2. Clone Repository

    git clone https://github.com/AlphsX/rusty-cli.git
    cd rusty-cli
  3. Install Dependencies

    cargo build
  4. Run in Development Mode

    cargo run

Development Workflow

Running the Application

# Development build (faster compilation, slower runtime)
cargo run

# Release build (slower compilation, faster runtime)
cargo run --release

# With environment variable
GROQ_API_KEY=your_key cargo run

Code Formatting

# Format code according to Rust style guide
cargo fmt

# Check formatting without applying changes
cargo fmt -- --check

Linting

# Run Clippy linter
cargo clippy

# Fix automatically fixable issues
cargo clippy --fix

# Strict mode (treat warnings as errors)
cargo clippy -- -D warnings

Testing

While the current version focuses on interactive use, you can add tests:

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn test_message_creation() {
        let msg = Message {
            role: "user".to_string(),
            content: "Hello".to_string(),
        };
        assert_eq!(msg.role, "user");
        assert_eq!(msg.content, "Hello");
    }

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_api_connection() {
        // Add your tests here
    }
}

Run tests:

cargo test

Building for Production
