What it does

ShellOracle turns plain English requests into accurate shell commands using an LLM, so you can script tasks without memorizing syntax.

When to use it
  • •You need a quick one‑liner (e.g., “list all .log files larger than 10 MB”) but can’t recall the exact flags.
  • •You’re building a CI/CD step and want the AI to suggest the safest `git` or `docker` commands.
  • •You have a repetitive admin task and want the tool to generate a script you can review and run.
Ready-to-paste prompt
shelloracle "compress every folder in ~/projects that hasn't been modified in the last 30 days into a .tar.gz named <folder>_old.tar.gz"
Heads up: ShellOracle will not work until you set a valid `OPENAI_API_KEY`; without it the CLI exits with an authentication error.
