 "title": "Point Vomit at a different local LLM server",
 "page_title": "How to point Vomit at a different local LLM server with Vomit",
 "summary": "Use Ollama, Apfel, or another OpenAI-API server as the model behind Vomit.",
 "who": "A developer who already runs a local model server and does not want to install Llama.app.",
 "problem": "The developer already has a local model server and wants Vomit to use it instead of a new one.",
 "outcome": "Vomit sends Claude's output to the chosen local server and returns rewritten text.",
 "steps": [
  "Install and start a server from the README list, such as Ollama (https://github.com/ollama/ollama) or Apfel (https://github.com/Arthur-Ficial/apfel).",
  "Run `go install github.com/zachahn/vomit@latest`.",
  "Run `vomit init` and enter the connection details for the server you started.",
  "Run `vomit scrub -claude` and follow its hook instructions.",
  "Send a Claude Code prompt and confirm the reply is rewritten."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Install zachahn/vomit with `go install github.com/zachahn/vomit@latest`, then run `vomit init` pointed at the local server <server-url> that is already running. Report which server and connection details you entered, and verify by checking that a Claude Code reply is rewritten after `vomit scrub -claude` is applied.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says Apfel is not very good, and it does not confirm that every OpenAI-API server works, since that line ends in a question.",

 ],
 "lang": "go",
 "requirements": [
  "Go toolchain, so `go install` works",
  "Claude Code installed",
  "A local LLM server such as Llama.app or Ollama, with a model downloaded",
  "A Mac, since the README says it was only tested on Mac"
