What is OpsTalk?

OpsTalk is an interactive terminal chat CLI for AWS DevOps Agent. Think "Claude Code but for AWS ops": a full-screen terminal interface for chatting with an AWS-backed agent, plus scriptable commands for one-shot prompts and operational workflows. It is built with Ink v6, React 19, and Commander.

Slash commands for chat control, help, clearing the transcript, starting a new chat, and resuming previous chats
Setup wizard for agent space selection on first launch
One-shot send command for scripting and automation
List previous chat sessions and resume them from the interactive picker
List available AWS DevOps Agent spaces
AWS IAM SigV4 authentication using the standard AWS credential chain
Markdown rendering in the terminal for bold, italic, code, and lists
XDG-compliant config storage with restrictive 0600 permissions

Node.js >= 20
AWS credentials configured through one of the standard mechanisms:
- instance profile
- environment variables
- AWS IAM Identity Center / SSO
- shared AWS config and credentials files
Access to the AWS DevOps Agent service and at least one agent space
