Hi HN, I just released a very simple AI Shell / CLI tool that lets you convert natural language directly into executable shell commands. Built with python to simplify terminal workflows and help you quickly run commands without memorizing syntax. It has two main usage modes: One-shot mode: Quickly execute commands using natural language. Example: ai "find all PNG files larger than 5MB" The AI responds with the appropriate command and asks if you want to execute it. Interactive chat mode: Start a terminal chat session with the AI (ai -i) to iteratively build commands or scripts. Some…

Hi HN! I built a CLI tool called ShellTalk for macOS, Linux, and web (WebAssembly) that maps English text to the corresponding Bash commands. ShellTalk is written in Swift and available under the Apache 2.0 license on GitHub. I was inspired a few weeks ago after reading the Meta-Harness paper and seeing a tool called Hunch that did something similar using the Apple Foundation model. I often forget flag names and orders, but I wanted something that worked consistently. The 3B AFM worked surprisingly well with Hunch, but it felt slow and sometimes slight changes in what I wrote would result in…

Coding agents spend a lot of time in the shell. When exploring a codebase, they usually reach for the same handful of tools: grep, find, ls, cat. We built a public SSH server that hosts Supabase docs as markdown files so that agents can explore them the same way they explore code: ssh supabase.sh grep -rl 'RLS' docs ssh supabase.sh cat docs/guides/database/postgres/row-level-security.md | head -10 Under the hood commands run inside Vercel's just-bash [1] library - an emulated bash shell sandboxed within the JS runtime. It uses a VFS where the docs are mounted as markdown…

Hello, Motivated by this discussion https://goo.gl/te4BFv, I have created a simple (free and open-source) command line note organizer. The tool, called npmnotes, take a folder with notes (written in markdown/texdown) and creates a webpage that lets you search and browse through the notes. You can then publish this webpage or use it locally. The result (built with npmnotes) looks something like this https://npmnotes.org. Currently, this is just a (working) prototype and I plan to add more features soon (based on the feedback I get). What do you think of it?

It's quite limited but does the job, I invite anybody not aware of what cram tests are to give them a try, being on Unix with the original cram or Windows with this one ;)

Shelon: https://github.com/housni/sheldon It's not a framework, it's a library. It attempts to mimic function names in Python. Most functions work in Bash 4.3+ but there are those that work on older versions. The 'help' target in Makefile is on crack! Check the issues in that repo for upcoming features. Useful for DevOps Engineers or anyone who has to write Bash scripts.

Hey HN, if you are a developer you will probably know the following situation: You are going to a certain project directory and then you are searching for this one command which was specific to this project or you just want to go through the last commands you typed into your shell while you were working in this directory. If you ever had this problem and are using Zsh, you should check out this zsh plugin I wrote: https://github.com/tymm/directory-history Let me know what you think!
