Start locally with 0.5B

Small local AI. Your own tools.

Let a 0.5B model choose a short operation ID while Zix describes inputs and prerequisites. Start with a scoped GitHub read workflow on your own machine.

ZixcelLocal 0.5B + Zix

Choose one ID. Inspect its definition.

INPUT

Read GitHub repository metadata.

MODEL

repository.read

CALLER

Validate ID + target → zix describe

Execution and credentials stay with the caller.

Follow the example in three steps

1. InstallCLI, extensions and optional model 2. Local inference0.5B / ID selection 3. Validate inputs and accessCaller checks / zix describe

1. Install the GitHub extension

Prepare the OS prerequisites, then use the shared installer for the released CLI, GitHub extension and optional 0.5B environment. No existing gh or development environment is needed.

Install the foundationInstall GitHub

2. Give 0.5B a short choice

Example: inspect a public repository. Pass IDs and meanings from the definitions, without full JSON or secret values.

CHOICES AND MEANINGS:
user.read: GITHUB IDENTITY READ
repository.read: GITHUB REPOSITORY READ
REQUEST: Read GitHub repository metadata.

# Example answer: repository.read

3. Inspect before executing

The caller validates the ID and authorized target, then inspects Zix inputs and access requirements. Retry and permission decisions remain deterministic.
