Non-interactive mode

LLxprt Code can be run in a non-interactive mode, which is useful for scripting and automation.

Basic non-interactive usage

Pass a prompt directly as an argument:

llxprt "What is fine tuning?"

Or pipe input:

echo "What is fine tuning?" | llxprt

Using profiles in non-interactive mode

Load a saved profile for consistent configuration:

llxprt --profile-load my-claude-profile "Explain this code"

Interactive mode with initial prompt (-i)

The -i flag starts an interactive session with an initial prompt. Unlike non-interactive mode, the session continues after the first response:

llxprt -i "Let's work on improving this codebase"

This is useful when you want to start a conversation with context but continue interacting afterward.

Comparison of modes

Flag/Usage Mode Session continues?
llxprt "prompt" Non-interactive No
llxprt -p "prompt" Non-interactive No
llxprt -i "prompt" Interactive Yes
llxprt --profile-load name Interactive Yes
echo "prompt" | llxprt Non-interactive No
