Natural-language to shell command converter / executor with Grok API
Project description
Quick Workspace Executor (flyn)
- A natural-language to shell command converter CLI tool. It allows you to type instructions in plain English, and it generates OS-specific shell commands safely. It also includes diagnostic tools, command explanation, history tracking, and configuration management.
Features
- Convert natural-language instructions into shell commands
- Supports multiple OS modes: Windows, Linux, macOS
- Risk analysis for potentially dangerous commands
- Command history tracking (last 50 commands)
- Configure API key, model, OS, and temperature
- Diagnostic tools for verifying API and model connectivity
- Explain shell commands with detailed breakdowns
- Version command to check current flyn version
Installation
- Clone the repository:
git clone <repo-url>
cd flyn
- Create a virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
- Activate the environment:
- Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
- Linux/macOS:
source venv/bin/activate
- Install dependencies:
pip install -e .
This will install typer, rich, google-generativeai, and other required packages.
Usage
All commands use the flyn CLI.
Run Commands
Generate shell commands from natural language:
flyn run "<instruction>" [--dry-run/--run]
--dry-run(default) – shows the command without executing it.--run– executes the command.
Example:
flyn run "count the number of files in the folder"
Output:
Generated command: (Get-ChildItem -File | Measure-Object).Count
Explanation: Counts the number of files in the current directory.
Risk level: LOW
Dry run: Command not executed.
Configuration
Manage flyn configuration:
flyn config show # Show all config values
flyn config get <key> # Get a single config key
flyn config set <key> <value> # Update a config value
flyn config reset # Reset to defaults
-
Defalut OS Configuration : Windows
-
Keys include
api_key,model,os,temperature. -
Temperature is a float value (0.0–1.0) controlling command generation randomness.
Example:
flyn config set os linux
flyn config set temperature 0.3
OS Quick Commands
Switch OS modes quickly:
flyn os windows
flyn os linux
flyn os mac
Or use:
flyn os set <os>
History
Track your commands:
flyn history show # Show last 50 commands
flyn history clear # Clear command history
Tools
Diagnostic and reverse-analysis tools:
flyn tools diagnose # Verify config, API, and model
flyn tools models # List available Gemini models
flyn tools explain "<command>" # Explain a shell command
Version
Check the current flyn version:
flyn version

Supported OS
- Windows (PowerShell)
- Linux (bash, sh)
- macOS (zsh, bash)
flyn ensures commands are OS-specific and safe to run.
Safety
- All generated commands are analyzed for risk.
- Risk levels:
LOW,MEDIUM,HIGH. - Dangerous commands (like
rm -rf) are flagged.
Requirements
- Python >= 3.10 (3.11 recommended)
- Gemini API key (
gemini_api_key) for command generation - Internet connection for API requests
Development
- Source code is under
cli/andcore/. - Config file:
config/settings.json - Virtual environment recommended (
venv/)
Happy scripting with flyn — turning your instructions into shell commands!
