nodecode-fast-chat
Fast Chat: open a session on the model you name, leaving your defaults alone. A Nodecode rewrite of iyoda/hermes-fast-chat by iyoda.
Get it
Tell the agent "add the fast-chat cell", or run nodecode add nc://fast-chat.
Set it up
/fast-chat needs one thing to know: the model a bare /fast-chat opens on. In /settings (or the page's Settings tab), under fast-chat, answer model with an id as /models lists it, behind PROVIDER/ for another provider and before :EFFORT for a rung:
{
"fast-chat": {
"model": "gpt-6.1-sol",
"provider": "openai-codex",
"effort": "low"
}
}
provider may be blank (the gateway's default provider serves the model) and effort is one of off, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max. That is the folder's whole section: config.example.jsonc is the same thing, commented.
Use it
/fast-chat gpt-6.1-sol /fast-chat openai-codex/gpt-6.1-sol:high /fast-chat canary-9 --provider acme --effort minimal --in ~/work --prompt sort the inbox
Each call opens a new session of this organism on exactly the provider, model and reasoning rung the line names, and records that pick on that session alone — the fact /models writes. Your default model does not move, and the session you typed the command in keeps what it runs on.
PROVIDER/MODEL:EFFORTis one word: the prefix is a provider only when the spec holds a single slash, and the suffix an effort only when it names a rung, soopenrouter/deepseek/deepseek-r1:freestays whole.--providerand--effortsay either part outright and win over the word.--in DIRis the new session's working directory; without it the new session works where this one does.--prompt TEXTstarts the new session's first turn at once, with the rest of the line as its prompt — no quotes needed. Without it the session waits, and the answer names its id: open it from/sessions./fast-chat --helpanswers the usage line.
The command is for an interactive shell. The manual is (help :fast-chat).
What it is
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
cell.lisp |
The command, its argument line, and the section. |
package.lisp |
The package: launch, the readers of a line, the rungs, the condition. |
test/ |
The slice: the lifecycle, the argument line, a real session pinned to a target. |
One nle:define-cell declaration: a section, /fast-chat, and the manual topic. No worker, no hook, no tool, no thread — an invocation creates a session and returns. The cell writes no file of its own and reaches no host: the session it opens runs on whatever provider the named model belongs to, and the first turn, if any, is an ordinary turn of this organism.
