Magi_CLI is a command line interface for those who desire software development to feel more like magic.

Magi CLI: An Esoteric Command Line Tool

Embrace the arcane with Magi CLI, a spellcasting-inspired command line interface (CLI) tool that fuses the mystical arts with practical utility. Unravel the secrets of the cosmos and command your operating system with the wisdom of the ancient magi.

Overview

Magi CLI is forged in Python, channeling the enigmatic power of the Click library. It offers an array of spells (commands) that manipulate the filesystem, manage files, and automate tasks. Designed to be extendable, Magi CLI allows you to add new spells as your knowledge of the hidden arts expands. It was also designed to be platform agnostic, but it should be used with a bash terminal like Git Bash for best performance. Use of Magi_CLI should empower the user, not remind them of the current in-sufficiently advanced software. Because remember Clarke's third law:

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Cast

This is the root command. It is the main entry point that binds all the other spells together and conjures the CLI. It is the first spell you should cast when using the CLI. It is also the spell that allows you to cast other spells. When you use cast it will display all available spells and .spell files in your tome. The .spell files will be listed from your default tome path set with the TOME_PATH variable or if that is not set, the .spell files in the .tome folder in your current directory will be listed.

Another goal for cast is to serve as a universal execution command. I despise having to use python or bash as prefixes to run a file, so I want to be able to execute most files with cast. Currently cast supports .py, .sh, and .spell files. I want to add support for .exe, .jar, and other files as well in the future.

Spells (Commands)

Tenets

Spells are designed with a few things in mind:

• Effectiveness - They need to work. Half functioning spells won't be included in a release version.
• Flavorfulness - They need to feel like magic. They should work in a manner that does not require memorization besides magic words and a target unless a flavorful way to add more features can be devised.
• Modulararity - They need to fit into Magi_CLI in a fully functional way. If you can't both cast it with cast spell target or python path/to/spell.py target, it is not acceptable. Each command should be both executable and castable as both file and command.
• Innovative - A spell will not be accepted if it only performs a task that a UNIX command already performs. We're crafting spells here, not reworking old ground.
• Fun! - They should be enjoyable to use! Keep the debug messages in theme, keep the soul of the project alive!

Current Spells

1. Fireball: ('fb') Transmute a file or directory into ashes, sending it to the '.graveyard' realm. This command deletes a file or directory and moves it to the '.graveyard' directory, ensuring that the deleted files are preserved in case they need to be restored later.

2. Necromancy: ('nc') Conjure a '.graveyard' domain to preserve the spirits of deleted files. This command creates a '.graveyard' directory, which serves as a storage location for deleted files. (I want to add more functionality to this command)

3. Ponder: ('pn') Ponder your .orb to gain insight into the nature of the universe. This command displays the spells available to you in a more comprehensive way than the 'cast' command. In the future, this will also serve as a way to research spells and information by calling out to the internet.

4. Divine: ('dv') Gaze into the astral plane to unveil the contents and attributes of a file or directory. This command lists the contents of a directory with detailed information, such as file size, permissions, and last modified date.

5. Raise_Dead: ('rd') Commune with the spirits in the '.graveyard' and restore them to the material plane if desired. This command lists all files in the '.graveyard' directory and allows you to restore them if desired.

6. Spellcraft: ('sc') Weave multiple commands into a powerful macro spell, inscribing it in '.spell' scrolls. The commands are saved in the order they were channeled and can be executed in sequence. These spells are then recorded in a .tome directory within your .sanctum folder.

7. Runecraft: ('rc') Craft a rune through the power of sigaldry enchanted with a single spell. Creates a button GUI with PyQT5 that can be used to execute a spell, bash, or python file. The image for the rune is generated with DALL-E, so the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable must be set. This might be my favorite spell. The purpose of this is to have an easy way to repeat a command or script in an efficient way without having to schedule it with Unseen_Servant or type out the command every time. The GUI is also independant from the terminal in that it won't interfere with your other commands, but the execution of the file is run from the terminal the GUI was created on and when that terminal is closed, it will shut down the GUI.

8. Aether_Inquiry: ('ai') Seek answers from an AI oracle like GPT-4. This will default to calling the GPT-4 API. This command will allow you to generate code to .spell files or ask questions about code, files, or even entire folders. If you give it a file argument, it will read the file provided and allow you to discuss it. If you don't provide a file, it will default to discussing code and will generate code for you to use in a .spell, .py, .bash, or .txt file by saying scribe during the conversation. If you provide a folder, it will offer to transcribe the contents into one file in a .aether directory and allow you to converse with the contents of the entire folder! It also gives you the option to save the conversation to a markdown file and pick it up at a later date by typing quit during the conversation.

   • Adding local LLM functionality soon!

9. Exile - ('ex')Banish a file or directory to the /tmp or C:\temp directory in a realm called .exile. This allows for the removal of a file from your root directory without getting rid of it completely.

10. Warp: ('wp') Warp to remote SSH sessions with ease. This command allows you to manage and connect to SSH sessions effortlessly. It provides a user-friendly interface to register new SSH sessions, edit existing ones, and quickly connect to them. With Warp, you can:

• List all registered SSH sessions
• Choose a session to connect to
• Add a new SSH session by providing the host, username, and optional private key
• Generate a new RSA key pair for authentication or use an existing private key
• Delete an existing SSH session and its associated keys
• Bypass the session selection and directly connect to a session using its alias

Future Spells

1. Unseen_Servant: ('uss') Enlist an ethereal ally to cast spells at regular intervals. Can invoke any '.spell' scroll on a schedule. This command schedules a spell to be cast on a regular basis, allowing you to automate tasks by running any '.spell' file on a schedule. (WIP)
2. Astral_Realm: ('ar') This would be a remote repository that stores your spells from your tome directory. This would allow you to share spells with other users and have a backup of your spells in case your tome is lost. (WIP)

Usage

To wield the Magi CLI without invoking 'python magi_cli.py', install it with pip:

Locally

pip install .

Or From PyPi

pip install magi-cli-pypi

Now Spellcast!

Simply utter the spell name and the required incantations to harness its power:

Example:

cast fireball test.py

or cast with its alias:

cast fb test.py

Future Enchantments

Additional spells, file type support, and arcane features can be added to the CLI based on the desires and whims of its practitioners. Beware that some spells (Astral_Realm, Unseen_Servant) are not fully defined yet, and their arcane secrets may change.

Spell Ideas

Astral Realm - This would be a remote repository that stores your spells from your tome directory

Spell Improvements

• Spellcraft: Allow the use of arcane variables in '.spell' scrolls for more dynamic spell weaving. I want spellcraft to be a versatile tool that can be used to accomplish more than just basic tasks without having to go too far into specifics on the users side. I'd like to eventually design a 'recording' system that can remember your last few commands.

• Runecraft: Implement a way to save runes to a tome directory and allow them to be executed from the CLI. Allow runes to be saved as .spell files. Something like that.

• Astral_Realm: We need to figure out if flask is all we need backend wise. Also looking into FastUI and FastAPI.

General Improvements

• I would like to have more flavorful errors and responses to commands when using the CLI.
• I need to find a better way to include aliases
• I need to figure out if click is the best library to move forward with.

Future Plans

1. The Astral Realm of Formulas - This is both the public spell repo and the community forum for discussing the future of MAGI_CLI.

2. MAGI_CLI Sanctum - This is an IDE for MAGI_CLI that responds to casting spells and creating commands with animations and sound effects. It will have the same goal as the CLI itself, which is to both have fun functionality and to supercharge your terminal experience.

3. MAGI_CLI VSCode Extension - This will be an extension that allows you to have the fun and functionality of MAGI_CLI in VSCode. I want to incorporate the animations and sound effects from the Sanctum into this extension.
