# LLaMA Chat Runner

This project provides a simple way to build and run conversational prompts with [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp).  
It uses PHP templates to format system and user messages into the correct structure for inference, and a Makefile to glue everything together.

## How it Works
- **`llm_chat.php`**: Collects the system message and user/assistant messages, then renders them with `llama_chat_template.php`.
- **`llama_chat_template.php`**: Outputs a structured chat template for LLaMA models.
- **`Makefile`**:  
  - Combines `.sys` files into `consolidated_system_message.txt`  
  - Pipes messages into `llama.cpp` (`llama-cli`) for inference  
  - Saves the model’s reply in `agent_message.txt`

## Usage
1. Place your `.sys` files (system instructions) in the repo folder.
2. Create `user_message.txt` with your prompt.
3. Run:
```bash
   make agent_message.txt
```
4.	The model’s response will be saved in ```agent_message.txt.```
Requirements
	•	llama.cpp built with llama-cli
	•	PHP CLI
	•	A compatible LLaMA model (set in the Makefile)
