I made a better zsh autosuggestion tool that predicts your next command

Hi everyone I just created Deja, a tool that instead of only surfacing commands that start with what you've typed, suggest what you actually want to run. I built it because I was using zsh autosuggestions but got tired of typing the same commands again and again. So Deja predicts your next command from your history. Let me know what you think

In plain words

Deja is a zsh autosuggestion tool that predicts a user's next command based on their history rather than just matching typed characters. Designed for developers who frequently run similar commands, it learns from past usage patterns to suggest relevant commands without requiring full text input. The tool aims to reduce repetitive typing by intelligently anticipating what command comes next.

    I've built a tool called sol (like "soul") that helps you inspect and format complex shell one-liners. Features: - Choose which transformations you want (break on pipe, args, redirect, whatever) - "Peeks" into stringified commands (think xargs, parallel) and formats those, too - Auto-breaks at a given width (e.g., 80 characters) - Shows you non-standard aliases, functions, files, etc. that you might not have in your shell environment - Breaks up long jq lines with jqfmt because—let's be honest—they're getting out of hand As a security researcher and tool developer, I often encounter (or…

    Hi HN! We’re Adrien and Kanav. We met at our previous job, where we spent about a third of our lives combating a constant firehose of bugs. In the hope of reducing this pain for others in the future, we’re working on automating debugging. We’re currently working on a platform that ingests logs and then automatically reproduces, root causes and ultimately fixes production bugs as they happen. You can see some of our work on this here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39528087 As we were building the root-cause phase of our automated debugger, we realized that we developed…
