Commands

heal (default)

Fix shell errors using LLM. Reads from stdin or captured output.

heal [--model MODEL] [--api-key KEY]

heal init

Initialize bash integration for automatic command and output capture.

heal init

This will:

• Create ~/.heal/heal.bash with command capture hooks
• Optionally add to your ~/.bashrc automatically
• Enable helper commands: heal-last, heal-output

heal test

Test your configuration with a simulated error.

heal test

This will:

• Verify your provider and API key are configured
• Send a test request to the LLM
• Show you a sample response

heal config

Configure or reconfigure heal settings (provider, API key, model).

heal config

heal fix

Explicit fix command (same as default heal).

heal fix [--model MODEL] [--api-key KEY]

heal install

Legacy command (use heal init instead).

heal install

heal uninstall

Remove shell hook and configuration.

heal uninstall

heal --help

Show help message and available commands.

heal --help

Configuration

First-Time Setup

On first run, heal will guide you through an interactive setup:

$ heal

🔧 First-time setup - Let's configure your LLM provider

Available providers:
  1. OpenRouter (recommended)
  2. OpenAI
  3. Anthropic
  4. Google AI

💡 Tip: OpenRouter gives you access to all models with one API key

Select provider [1]: 1

🔑 Get your OpenRouter API key here:
   https://openrouter.ai/keys

Enter your API key: sk-or-...

🤖 Select a model from OpenRouter:

  1. openai/gpt-4o-mini
     GPT-4o Mini (fast, cheap, recommended)
  2. openai/gpt-4o
     GPT-4o (most capable)
  3. anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet
     Claude 3.5 Sonnet (excellent reasoning)
  4. google/gemini-pro-1.5
     Gemini Pro 1.5 (long context)
  5. meta-llama/llama-3.1-70b-instruct
     Llama 3.1 70B (open source)
  6. qwen/qwen-2.5-72b-instruct
     Qwen 2.5 72B (multilingual)
  7. Custom (enter model name manually)

Select model [1]: 1

Reconfigure Settings

Change your provider, API key, or model anytime:

heal config

Supported Providers

🌐 OpenRouter (Recommended)

• Why? Access to all models with one API key

• Models: GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Qwen, and 100+ more

🤖 OpenAI

• Get API key: platform.openai.com/api-keys
• Models: GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, GPT-4-turbo, GPT-3.5-turbo

🧠 Anthropic

Manual Configuration

Edit ~/.heal/.env:

HEAL_PROVIDER=openrouter
HEAL_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
HEAL_MODEL=openai/gpt-4o-mini
HEAL_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1

Configuration is stored in ~/.heal/.env.

Development

This package uses modern Python packaging with pyproject.toml.

Install in development mode

pip install -e .

Run tests

python -m pytest

How it works

1. Command capture: Gets last command from bash history or shell hook
2. Error collection: Reads error output from stdin or captured file
3. LLM analysis: Sends command and error to LLM for analysis
4. Solution proposal: Returns concrete fix suggestions

Limitations

• Shell processes cannot access previous process stderr without pipes
• Shell hook required for fully automatic operation
• Requires API key for LLM service
