AI-powered CLI tool that connects natural language with developer workflows:

• Git commit generation (with optional auto-commit and auto-push)
• Shell command generation (PowerShell & Linux Bash support)
• Slang / abbreviation decoding
• Streaming output — responses print in real time as they generate
• Self-healing shell commands, dangerous-command blocking, and a dry-run mode for safety

Powered by Google Gemini API.

Why

Writing a commit message, or figuring out the right shell command, usually means breaking flow: open a browser tab or a separate AI chat, copy-paste context back and forth, then come back to the terminal to actually run something. decrypt skips that round-trip — it works right where you already are.

For commits specifically: it shows a git diff --stat --cached preview so you can see exactly what's changing, then commits and pushes in one go if it looks right. No extra window, no copy-pasting a diff into a chat.

(The slang decoder is the odd one out — it's the original joke feature this tool started as. Kept it around as a nod to where decrypt came from.)

Features

1. Commit Generator (default mode)

Generates Conventional Commit messages from:

• staged git diff (git diff --staged)
• or manual input text

Shows a git diff --stat --cached preview before asking for confirmation, then prompts to run git commit and git push.

# From staged diff
git add .
decrypt

# From description
decrypt "fix auth bug in jwt middleware"

# Auto-execute (skip prompts)
decrypt --auto

[!WARNING] decrypt generates and executes shell commands via LLM. Commands are restricted to an allowlist, but this is not a full sandbox — always review commands before confirming, especially in auto mode.

2. Shell Command Generator

Convert natural language into executable terminal commands. Supports both PowerShell and Bash.

# Windows PowerShell (default shell mode)
decrypt -s "find all png files larger than 10MB and delete them"

# Linux / macOS Bash
decrypt -b "kill all processes on port 3000"

Built-in safety guards:

• Self-healing — a failed command is automatically re-generated and corrected by the AI
• Dangerous command blocking — protection against rm -rf, fork bombs, and similar
• 30s timeout — commands can't hang indefinitely

3. Slang Decoder

Expands internet slang, abbreviations, and vowel-less text into readable text.

decrypt -sl "hru btw idk"

4. Interactive Mode

Run without input arguments to start a loop:

decrypt

5. Dry-Run Mode (--dry-run)

Only generates output, never executes anything.

decrypt --dry-run -s "delete all node_modules folders"
decrypt --dry-run -c "add caching layer for api"

Installation

From PyPI

pip install decrypt

Using pipx

pipx install decrypt

Local development install

git clone https://github.com/REvDl/decrypt.git
cd decrypt
pip install .

Configuration

On first run, the tool configures automatically:

• Gemini API key
• Default language

Stored at:

~/.config/decrypt/.env

Reset configuration:

decrypt --config

CLI Usage

usage: decrypt [-h] [-cm] [-s] [-b] [-sl] [-c] [-l LANG] [-dr] [-a] [text]

AI-powered CLI tool
• Conventional Commits
• Shell Commands
• Slang Decoder

positional arguments:
  text                  Optional text input. Commit mode (default): if empty, uses git diff; if provided, generates commit from this description.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -cm, --commit         Mode: Generate Git commit message from text or staged diffs (default)
  -s, --shell           Mode: Generate an executable shell command from natural language
  -b, --bash            Mode: Generate an executable Linux Bash command from natural language
  -sl, --slang          Mode: Accurately expand and decipher internet abbreviations and slang

  -c, --config          Force re-configure API key and language
  -l, --lang LANG       Transcription language (default from .env)
  -dr, --dry-run        Mode: generating commands without executing them
  -a, --auto            Auto-execute mode (skips confirmation prompts)
