This snap packages the **client** only. It talks over HTTPS to a KubeIntellect server (self-hosted via the published container image, or any OpenAI / Azure OpenAI compatible backend selected with `--backend`). Highlights: * Interactive REPL with streaming responses, slash commands and Tab completion * Session persistence, resume, full-text search and conversation branching * Token and cost tracking per session * Human-in-the-loop approval before any mutating action * Multi-cluster: switch kubectl context live, or bundle cluster + backend + credentials into named profiles * Shell completion for bash, zsh and fish (`kq completion `) **After installing, connect the two personal-files interfaces** so `kq` can read your kubeconfig and keep its own state: ``` sudo snap connect kubeintellect:dot-kube sudo snap connect kubeintellect:dot-kube-q ``` and, if you want the short command name: ``` sudo snap alias kubeintellect.kq kq ``` Point it at a backend with `KUBE_Q_URL` (and `KUBE_Q_API_KEY` where required), then run `kubeintellect`.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply. Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo pacman -S snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install KubeIntellect (kq) To install KubeIntellect (kq), simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install kubeintellect ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
