Flume can generate scripts, themes, and layouts from natural language descriptions using your own LLM API key.

​
Setup

/generate init
This walks you through interactively:
  1. Choose a provider — type 1 for Anthropic (Claude) or 2 for OpenAI (GPT)
  2. Paste your API key — stored automatically in the encrypted vault
The provider and model are saved to config.toml and the key to the vault. Works immediately in the same session — no restart needed. Or set up manually — see LLM Configuration.

​
Generate a Script

/generate script --name greeter greet users who join my channels
/generate script --python --name urlbot log all URLs posted in channels
/generate script auto-respond when someone mentions my nick
Use --name <name> to set the filename. Default language is Lua; use --python or --lua to choose.

​
Generate a Theme

/generate theme --name midnight dark blue background with warm orange accents
/generate theme --name github-light light mode inspired by GitHub
/generate theme cyberpunk neon with purple and green
Use --name <name> to set the theme filename. Without it, the name is derived from your description.

​
Generate a Layout

Layout generation creates a split profile — it picks which two buffers to show side-by-side and the split direction. It does not change the TUI chrome (panels, status bar). 
/generate layout --name monitoring #ops on the left and #alerts on the right
/generate layout horizontal split with server on top and #general below
/generate layout --name dev 70/30 split with #main on the left and #logs on the right

​
Review and Accept

Generated content appears in a split preview pane with line numbers. Then: 
/generate accept    # save and apply
/generate reject    # discard
  • Scripts are saved to scripts/generated/ and auto-loaded
  • Themes are saved to themes/ and applied immediately
  • Layouts are saved to layouts/ for use with /layout load
