description	llama.cpp runtime/session control: use llama-cli and llama-server commands/flags to run local GGUF models and serve an API in a worker terminal. Trigger when the controller needs to operate llama.cpp like a human.

llama.cpp Runtime

Overview

Operate llama.cpp safely: run local GGUF models via llama-cli or serve an API via llama-server.

Session Safety

1. Confirm idle state

• Snapshot and/or status the worker; do not intervene mid-run.
• Only proceed when the worker is at a prompt or explicitly idle.

Core Commands

llama-cli (interactive/local runs)

• Run a local model file:
  • llama-cli -m my_model.gguf
• Download and run directly from Hugging Face:
  • llama-cli -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-1b-it-GGUF
• Conversation mode (if not auto-enabled):
  • llama-cli -m model.gguf -cnv --chat-template chatml

llama-server (OpenAI-compatible API)

• Start a local server on port 8080:
  • llama-server -m model.gguf --port 8080
• Parallel decoding example:
  • llama-server -m model.gguf -c 16384 -np 4

Guardrails

• Do not restart mid-run.
• Use llama-server for API-style usage and llama-cli for interactive/local prompts.
• If the worker is not llama.cpp, switch to the model-specific runtime skill instead.
