🤖 What is batless?

batless is a minimal, blazing-fast syntax viewer that never blocks, never pages, never hangs. Unlike bat, it's purpose-built for:

• 🤖 AI code assistants that need predictable, streaming output
• 🔄 CI/CD pipelines where interactive pagers would hang forever
• 📜 Automation scripts that require guaranteed non-blocking behavior
• 🚀 Modern workflows where JSON output and code summaries matter more than line numbers

📖 Usage Examples

# View a file with syntax highlighting
batless src/main.rs

# Plain text output (no colors)
batless --mode=plain src/main.rs

# JSON output for parsing
batless --mode=json src/main.rs

# Extract code structure summary
batless --mode=summary src/main.rs

# Limit output
batless --max-lines=50 large-file.py

✨ Features

• ✅ NEVER blocks - no pager, no interactive prompts
• 🎨 Syntax highlighting for 100+ languages
• 📊 Multiple output modes: plain, highlighted, JSON, summary
• 🤖 AI-optimized with metadata and token extraction
