+# CLI Startup Arguments
+
+5ire supports command-line arguments to automatically create chats with pre-configured settings when launching the application.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Individual Flags
+
+You can use individual flags to configure a new chat:
+
+```bash
+5ire --new-chat --provider openai --model gpt-4 --system "You are a helpful assistant" --summary "My Chat" --prompt "Hello!" --temperature 0.7
+```
+
+#### Available Flags
+
+- `--new-chat` - Flag to indicate creating a new chat (required when using individual flags)
+- `--provider <provider>` - AI provider (e.g., openai, anthropic, google)
+- `--model <model>` - Model name (e.g., gpt-4, claude-3-opus)
+- `--system <message>` - System message for the chat
+- `--summary <text>` - Summary/title for the chat
+- `--prompt <text>` - Initial prompt/message to send
+- `--temperature <number>` - Temperature setting (0.0 - 2.0)
+
+### JSON Format
+
+You can also provide all settings as a JSON object:
+
+```bash
+5ire --chat '{"provider":"openai","model":"gpt-4","system":"You are a helpful assistant","summary":"My Chat","prompt":"Hello!","temperature":0.7}'
+```
+
+### Provider Derivation
+
+If you specify the model in the format `Provider:model`, the provider will be automatically derived and the model will be normalized:
+
+```bash
+5ire --new-chat --model anthropic:claude-3-opus
+```
+
+This is equivalent to:
+
+```bash
+5ire --new-chat --provider anthropic --model claude-3-opus
+```
+
+**Note:** If you explicitly provide both a provider and a model with the `Provider:model` format, the explicit provider takes precedence, but the model will still be normalized to remove the provider prefix:
+
+```bash
+5ire --new-chat --provider openai --model anthropic:claude-3-opus
+# Results in: provider=openai, model=claude-3-opus
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Chat Creation
+
+Create a new chat with OpenAI GPT-4:
+
+```bash
+5ire --new-chat --provider openai --model gpt-4
+```
+
+### Chat with System Message
+
+Create a chat with a custom system message:
+
+```bash
+5ire --new-chat --provider anthropic --model claude-3-opus --system "You are a coding assistant specialized in TypeScript"
+```
+
+### Chat with Initial Prompt
+
+Create a chat and send an initial message:
+
+```bash
+5ire --new-chat --provider openai --model gpt-4 --prompt "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
+```
+
+### Complete Configuration
+
+Create a fully configured chat:
+
+```bash
+5ire --new-chat \
+  --provider openai \
+  --model gpt-4 \
+  --system "You are a creative writing assistant" \
+  --summary "Story Writing Session" \
+  --prompt "Write a short story about a time traveler" \
+  --temperature 0.9
+```
+
+### Using JSON Format
+
+```bash
+5ire --chat '{
+  "provider": "anthropic",
+  "model": "claude-3-opus",
+  "system": "You are a helpful assistant",
+  "summary": "Quick Chat",
+  "temperature": 0.7
+}'
+```
+
+## Behavior
+
+- When launched with startup arguments, 5ire will:
+  1. Create a new chat with the specified configuration
+  2. Navigate to the newly created chat
+  3. If a `--prompt` is provided, it will be set as the initial input (but not automatically sent)
+
+- On second instance activation (when 5ire is already running):
+  - The existing window will be focused
+  - A new chat will be created with the startup arguments
+  - The user will be navigated to the new chat
+
+## Notes
+
+- The `--new-chat` flag is required when using individual flags (not needed with `--chat`)
+- The `--chat` JSON format takes precedence over individual flags if both are provided
+- Temperature values outside the valid range (typically 0.0-2.0) may be adjusted by the provider
+- Invalid JSON in the `--chat` argument will be logged and ignored
+- When a model contains the `Provider:model` format:
+  - If no explicit provider is set, the provider will be extracted from the model
+  - The model will always be normalized to remove the provider prefix
+  - An explicit provider takes precedence over a provider in the model format

+# Terminal Startup Arguments - Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation adds support for terminal startup arguments that allow users to automatically create chats with pre-configured settings when launching the 5ire application.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### 1. CLI Argument Parser (`src/main/cli-args.ts`)
+
+A dedicated module that parses command-line arguments and extracts chat configuration:
+
+- **Supported Formats:**
+  - Individual flags: `--new-chat --provider openai --model gpt-4 --system "..." --summary "..." --prompt "..." --temperature 0.7`
+  - JSON format: `--chat '{"provider":"openai","model":"gpt-4",...}'`
+
+- **Key Features:**
+  - Provider derivation from model format (`Provider:model`)
+  - Model normalization (always removes provider prefix)
+  - Explicit provider takes precedence
+  - Robust error handling for invalid JSON
+
+### 2. Main Process Integration (`src/main/main.ts`)
+
+Enhanced the main process to handle startup arguments:
+
+- **Cold Start:** Parses `process.argv` when app launches
+- **Second Instance:** Parses command line from second instance activation
+- **Pending State:** Stores pending startup args until renderer is ready
+- **IPC Communication:** Sends startup payload via `startup-new-chat` event
+
+**Key Changes:**
+```typescript
+// Added variable to track pending startup args
+let pendingStartupArgs: StartupChatArgs | null = null;
+
+// Parse args on cold start
+handleStartupArgs(process.argv);
+
+// Parse args on second instance
+app.on('second-instance', (event, commandLine) => {
+  handleStartupArgs(commandLine);
+  // ... handle deep links
+});
+
+// Send pending args when renderer is ready
+ipcMain.on('install-tool-listener-ready', () => {
+  if (pendingStartupArgs !== null) {
+    mainWindow?.webContents.send('startup-new-chat', pendingStartupArgs);
+    pendingStartupArgs = null;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Preload API (`src/main/preload.ts`)
+
+Exposed secure API for renderer process via contextBridge:
+
+```typescript
+startup: {
+  onNewChat(callback: (args: StartupChatArgs) => void) {
+    // Returns unsubscribe function
+    return () => { ... };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Security Constraints:**
+- Uses contextBridge for secure IPC communication
+- No direct access to Node.js APIs from renderer
+- Type-safe API with TypeScript interfaces
+
+### 4. Renderer Handler (`src/renderer/components/StartupHandler.tsx`)
+
+React component that handles startup events:
+
+- **Placement:** Inside Router in FluentApp component
+- **Lifecycle:** Sets up listener on mount, cleans up on unmount
+- **Race Condition Protection:** Uses ref to prevent concurrent chat creation
+- **Chat Creation:** Calls `useChatStore().createChat()` with parsed args
+- **Navigation:** Automatically navigates to newly created chat
+
+**Key Features:**
+```typescript
+- Prevents race conditions with isProcessingRef
+- Proper error handling and logging
+- Automatic navigation to created chat
+- Clean event listener cleanup
+```
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```
+CLI Args → parseStartupArgs() → handleStartupArgs() → IPC Event
+                                                          ↓
+                                                    Preload API
+                                                          ↓
+                                                   StartupHandler
+                                                          ↓
+                                                  createChat() + navigate()
+```
+
+### Cold Start Flow:
+1. User launches app with CLI args
+2. Main process parses args from `process.argv`
+3. Args stored in `pendingStartupArgs`
+4. Renderer loads and sends 'install-tool-listener-ready'
+5. Main sends 'startup-new-chat' event with args
+6. StartupHandler receives event, creates chat, navigates
+
+### Second Instance Flow:
+1. User launches app again with CLI args (app already running)
+2. Second instance detected, window focused
+3. Main process parses args from `commandLine`
+4. If renderer ready, immediately sends 'startup-new-chat' event
+5. StartupHandler receives event, creates chat, navigates
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive test suite in `test/main/cli-args.spec.ts`:
+
+- ✅ Null handling for no args
+- ✅ Individual flag parsing
+- ✅ Partial flag parsing
+- ✅ JSON format parsing
+- ✅ Provider derivation from model
+- ✅ Model normalization with explicit provider
+- ✅ Invalid JSON handling
+- ✅ Missing value handling
+- ✅ Temperature number parsing
+- ✅ Invalid temperature handling
+- ✅ Complex JSON with all properties
+- ✅ Provider derivation in JSON format
+
+## Documentation
+
+Complete user documentation in `docs/CLI_ARGUMENTS.md`:
+
+- Usage examples for all scenarios
+- Detailed explanation of provider derivation
+- Behavior notes and edge cases
+- Platform-specific considerations
+
+## Edge Cases Handled
+
+1. **Empty Args:** Returns null, no chat created
+2. **Invalid JSON:** Logged and ignored, returns null
+3. **Missing Values:** Ignores flag if no value provided
+4. **Invalid Temperature:** Ignores if not a number
+5. **Race Conditions:** Protected with ref guard in handler
+6. **Deep Link Conflicts:** Searches all args, not just last one
+7. **Provider Prefix:** Always normalized in model string
+8. **Concurrent Events:** Processing flag prevents duplicate chat creation
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for future consideration:
+
+1. Support for additional chat settings (maxTokens, maxCtxMessages)
+2. Validate provider and model against available providers
+3. Auto-send message if prompt is provided
+4. Support for chat folder assignment
+5. Batch chat creation from config file
+6. Shell auto-completion for flags
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+None. This is a new feature with no impact on existing functionality.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- ✅ All IPC communication through contextBridge
+- ✅ No direct Node.js access from renderer
+- ✅ Input validation in parser (JSON.parse in try-catch)
+- ✅ Type-safe interfaces throughout
+- ✅ No eval or code execution from user input
+- ✅ Proper logging instead of console methods
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+Minimal:
+
+- Argument parsing is O(n) where n = number of args (typically < 20)
+- Event listeners cleaned up properly
+- No memory leaks from event subscriptions
+- Race condition protection prevents duplicate work
