Shell Whiz

AI assistant for the command line that suggests shell commands from a plain-English description and explains what each one does.

Shell Whiz is a Python CLI tool aimed at the familiar problem of knowing what you want to do in a terminal but not remembering the exact flag or syntax. Instead of searching man pages or Stack Overflow, running sw ask, or a configured shortcut like ??, returns an AI-generated command suggestion along with an explanation of what it does.

It supports targeting different shells, including Bash, Zsh, and PowerShell, and lets a user ask for revisions until the suggested command actually fits their situation. Installation is simple through pip or pipx, and it needs an OpenAI API key configured either through its own config command or an environment variable.

It's a small, focused utility rather than a broader coding assistant, built for the specific moment of forgetting a command rather than for writing or reviewing code.
