AI-powered cross-environment terminal assistant

Bashly

AI-powered cross-environment terminal assistant. Type your request in plain English — Bashly generates the right command for your target environment, lets you approve or deny it, and optionally runs it.

Supported environments

Environment	Can run locally?
Windows (PowerShell)	Yes
Windows (CMD)	Yes
Linux (bash)	Yes
macOS (zsh)	Yes
Android (Termux)	Copy only
MicroPython (ESP32 / Pi Pico)	Copy only
Arduino CLI	Copy only
Raspberry Pi (bash + GPIO)	Copy only

Setup

1. Get an OpenRouter API key

Go to openrouter.ai, sign in, and create an API key.

2. Clone or download this project

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/bashly
cd bashly

3. Add your API key

Open .env and replace the placeholder:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_actual_key_here

4. Install dependencies with uv

uv init
uv add openai rich python-dotenv pyperclip

Or with pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Run Bashly

uv run bashly.py

Or with Python directly:

python bashly.py

Usage

On startup, Bashly asks you to pick a target environment. After that, just type naturally:

Bashly (Linux) > find all log files older than 7 days
Bashly (MicroPy) > blink the onboard LED every 500ms
Bashly (Win/PS) > list all running processes sorted by memory

Commands

Type this	Does this
history	Show last 10 commands
clear history	Delete all saved history
switch env	Change target environment without restarting
exit	Quit Bashly

Approve / deny options

For executable environments (Windows, Linux, macOS):

• y — run the command
• n — skip it
• c — copy to clipboard without running
• ? — explain what the command does, then decide

For copy-only environments (MicroPython, Arduino, Termux, RPi):

• y — copy to clipboard
• n — skip it
• ? — explain, then decide

Safety

Bashly checks every command for dangerous patterns before showing it to you:

• Red / DANGEROUS — contains destructive patterns like rm -rf, format c:, dd if=, fork bombs
• Yellow / Caution — contains elevated-privilege patterns like sudo, chmod, kill
• Green / Safe — no known dangerous patterns detected

You always have to explicitly approve before anything runs. Bashly never auto-executes.

History

All approved, denied, and copied commands are saved to ~/.bashly_history.json. This file persists across sessions and is stored in your home directory.

Notes

• Danger detection is not a security guarantee — always read the command before approving
• For MicroPython and Arduino targets, Bashly generates code snippets, not terminal commands
• The switch env command lets you generate commands for multiple environments in one session
