Command Anything

Command Anything lets you create command-line commands using plain English. Instead of remembering complex syntax or flags, just describe what you want to do, and let AI figure out the details.

Why Use Command Anything?

• Focus on intent: Tell it what you want to accomplish, not how to do it
• Natural language: No need to memorize command syntax or man pages
• Learn as you go: See the actual commands that match your intentions
• Safe execution: Preview commands before running them

Quick Start

1. Clone the repo in your preferred location

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Make the script executable:

chmod +x command-anything

4. Set up an alias for easy access. Add this line to your shell config file:

For Bash (~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile):

alias llm="path/to/command-anything"

For Zsh (~/.zshrc):

alias llm="path/to/command-anything"

After adding the alias:

source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc if using Zsh

Now you can use llm from anywhere!

How to Use

Basic usage:

llm "your request in plain english"

Options:

• -m MODEL: Choose a different AI model (default: gpt-4o)
• -l LANGUAGE: Specify output language (default: python)
• -p PARAMETERS: Add extra context or parameters

For each command:

1. Describe what you want to do
2. Review the explanation and generated command
3. Confirm if you want to run it

Tips for Best Results

• Be specific about what you want to accomplish
• Include relevant details like file types, locations, or conditions
• Review commands before executing, especially for system-changing operations
• Use parameters to provide additional context when needed

Safety Notes

• Always review generated commands before execution
• The tool will show you what it plans to do and ask for confirmation
• For system-changing operations, consider running with --dry-run first (just add this to your request)

Examples

Find large files in your system:

llm "find files larger than 1GB in my home directory"

Manage processes:

llm "kill all processes using more than 2GB of RAM"

File operations:

llm "rename all jpg files in current folder to include today's date"

System maintenance:

llm "clean up old docker images and containers"

Complex tasks:

llm "find all Python files modified in the last week and count their lines of code"

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenAI API key (set in your environment)
• Required Python packages: openai, pydantic

Installation Troubleshooting

If you get a "command not found" error:

1. Make sure the script is executable (chmod +x command-anything)
2. Verify your alias is set up correctly:

which llm

3. Check if the OpenAI API key is set:

echo $OPENAI_API_KEY
