tartarus-ai/tartarusai-cli

tartarusai-cli is the command-line client for a paid AI service called TartarusAI. The service positions itself as a coding agent aimed at developers doing security research and professional penetration testing, work where mainstream AI tools often refuse requests even when the task is legitimate. The README frames the problem as AI assistants refusing routine professional requests: writing a port scanner for a personal lab, deobfuscating a script during incident response, building a credential-rotation tool. The service's stated goal is to complete that kind of work without stopping to ask whether it should. The tool offers a 256,000-token context window, which is large enough to load an entire small codebase in a single request. Billing is cryptocurrency-only with no credit card required and no recurring charge. The README claims accounts activate within about 30 seconds of a confirmed payment and includes a 14-day refund policy. Linux and Windows x86-64 binaries are available as direct downloads. Setup requires creating an account on the TartarusAI dashboard, generating a token, and saving it as a JSON file in a local config directory. The CLI reads that file on startup. The README includes a "what this is not" section stating the tool is not intended for creating malware, attacking systems the user does not own, bypassing DRM, or generating piracy tools. It frames the intended use as equivalent to what penetration testing courses and CTF competitions cover. The repository is MIT-licensed.
