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

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone <repo-url>
cd flyn
  1. Create a virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
  1. Activate the environment:
  • Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
  • Linux/macOS:
source venv/bin/activate
  1. 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

Command Reference

Command Description
flyn run "<instruction>" [--dry-run/--run] Generate shell commands from natural language.
flyn version Show the current flyn version.
flyn config show Display all configuration values.
flyn config get <key> Get a single configuration value.
flyn config set <key> <value> Update a configuration value (e.g., OS, model, temperature).
flyn config reset Reset configuration to defaults.
flyn os set <os> Set OS mode explicitly.
flyn os windows Quick set OS to Windows.
flyn os linux Quick set OS to Linux.
flyn os mac Quick set OS to macOS.
flyn history show Show the last 50 commands executed.
flyn history clear Clear all command history.
flyn tools diagnose Check configuration, API key, and model.
flyn tools models List available Gemini models for your API key.
flyn tools explain "<command>" Ask Gemini to explain what a shell command does.

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/ and core/.
  • Config file: config/settings.json
  • Virtual environment recommended (venv/)
Happy scripting with flyn — turning your instructions into shell commands!
