FGN: An AI-powered command-line tool for automated file generation.

File Generator CLI (FGN)

FGN is an advanced command-line tool integrating the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence to automate the creation of diverse file types. It’s a powerful solution for developers, creatives, managers, or anyone engaged in regular file generation tasks.

FGN leverages the power of OpenAI’s GPT models for generating various types of files. This AI integration allows the creation of blogs, code, guides, how-to articles, nano fiction stories, plans, and shell scripts. By merely providing a prompt, you can have a sophisticated AI create meaningful content, saving you time and resources.

Features

• AI-powered file generation with a variety of commands (blog, code, guide, how-to articles, nano fiction stories, plans, and shell scripts)

• Input and output file specification

• Automatic output to file with automatic filename generation

• Clipboard pasting

• Extensible with new commands

• Option for verbose mode for printing output

Key Features

Auto-Output

The auto-output feature is designed to streamline your file creation process. With FGN, you can automatically generate output files using a prompt. The filename is intelligently generated based on the provided prompt, file extensions, and optional parameters. You can control the filename’s length, whether to include the current time in the filename, and more. The tool also prevents filename conflicts by generating unique identifiers.

Pasting from Clipboard

FGN supports direct pasting from the clipboard. This feature is particularly useful when you want to generate files based on the data copied to your clipboard. With the ‘-p’ or ‘–paste’ options, you can paste text directly from the clipboard as the command’s argument. This feature can significantly speed up your workflow, especially when dealing with large amounts of data.

Extensibility

FGN is designed with extensibility in mind. You can add new commands and functionalities to suit your specific needs. This makes FGN adaptable to a variety of use cases, be it a developer needing to automate code generation or a writer looking to automate blog post creation.
