ghost-in-the-shell 0.1.6

CLI with OpenAI integration

Ghost in the Shell

AI Shell is a cross-platform command-line assistant that lets you use natural language to run shell commands. Whether you’re on macOS, Linux, or Windows, just type what you want to do — AI Shell will suggest the correct shell command, ask for your confirmation, and optionally execute it.

Supports both:

• One-shot mode: ai "archive.tar" → returns shell command
• Interactive mode: ai -i → opens a terminal chat with the AI

✨ Features

• 🧠 Natural Language to Shell Command (via OpenAI API)
• 🖥️ Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (Python-based)
• ✅ Confirmation before execution
• 💬 Interactive chat mode for iterative CLI tasks
• 🎨 Colored terminal output for better readability
• 🪟 Optional tmux split-pane workflow (chat left, shell right)
