LangChain powered shell command generate and run CLI

Shell-AI: Your Intelligent Command-Line Companion

Shell-AI (shai) is a CLI utility that brings the power of natural language understanding to your command line. Simply input what you want to do in natural language, and shai will suggest single-line commands that achieve your intent. Under the hood, Shell-AI leverages the LangChain for LLM use and builds on the excellent InquirerPy for the interactive CLI.

Installation

You can install Shell-AI directly from PyPI using pip:

pip install shell-ai

After installation, you can invoke the utility using the shai command.

Usage

To use Shell-AI, open your terminal and type:

shai run terraform dry run thingy

Shell-AI will then suggest 3 commands to fulfill your request:

• terraform plan
• terraform plan -input=false
• terraform plan

Features

• Natural Language Input: Describe what you want to do in plain English (or other supported languages).
• Command Suggestions: Get single-line command suggestions that accomplish what you asked for.
• Cross-Platform: Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• Azure Compatibility: Shell-AI now supports Azure OpenAI deployments.

Configuration

Environment Variables

1. OPENAI_API_KEY: Required. Set this environment variable to your OpenAI API key. You can find it on your OpenAI Dashboard.

Optional Variables

1. OPENAI_MODEL: Defaults to gpt-3.5-turbo. You can set it to another OpenAI model if desired.
2. SHAI_SUGGESTION_COUNT: Defaults to 3. You can set it to specify the number of suggestions to generate.
3. OPENAI_API_BASE: Defaults to https://api.openai.com/v1. You can set it to specify the proxy or service emulator.
4. OPENAI_ORGANIZATION: OpenAI Organization ID
5. OPENAI_PROXY: OpenAI proxy
6. OPENAI_API_TYPE: Set to "azure" if you are using Azure deployments.
7. AZURE_DEPLOYMENT_NAME: Your Azure deployment name (required if using Azure).
8. AZURE_API_BASE: Your Azure API base (required if using Azure).

Configuration File

Alternatively, you can store these variables in a JSON configuration file:

• For Linux/macOS: Create a file called config.json under ~/.config/shell-ai/ and secure it with chmod 600 ~/.config/shell-ai/config.json.
• For Windows: Create a file called config.json under %APPDATA%\shell-ai\

Example config.json:

{
  "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your_openai_api_key_here",
  "OPENAI_MODEL": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
  "SHAI_SUGGESTION_COUNT": "3"
}

The application will read from this file if it exists, overriding any existing environment variables.

Run the application after setting these configurations.
