Marmot

About Marmot

Marmot is an MIT-licensed command-line tool that gives a shell — and by extension any agent that can run shell commands — one consistent interface to language models, web search, scraping and enrichment data. The design argument is about context economics rather than capability. When a coding agent needs to search the web or enrich a contact, doing that work inside the main agent's context spends tokens on intermediate results the agent will never need again. Marmot moves those calls out to the shell, where each one is a pipe stage and only the final answer comes back. The examples the project ships are all pipelines: pull a day of Gmail and hand it to a fast model for triage; search the web and boil the result down to five bullets; look up a contact, verify the email and draft the intro; take a `gh pr diff` and write the PR description. Because it is a plain npm binary it drops into CI/CD anywhere Node runs. It is explicitly bring-your-own-keys — Marmot brokers calls out to providers you already have accounts with, including Ollama, OpenRouter, the Vercel AI Gateway, Cloudflare, OpenAI, Anthropic, Brave, Exa, Firecrawl, Parallel, Tavily, ScrapeOps, ScraperAPI, ScrapingBee, Zyte, Apollo and Hunter, rather than reselling inference. It installs as an agent skill in one command.
