Terma-CLI

A lightweight Python CLI tool that converts natural language instructions into terminal commands.

Overview

Terma-CLI lets you describe what you want to do in plain English, and your configured AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google GenAI) will translate it into a valid terminal command.

Features

• Convert natural language directly into executable commands
• Multiple AI provider support:
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • Google GenAI
• AI agent configuration via terma config
• Persistent settings stored automatically at ~/.config/terma/config.json
• Simple CLI tool created with Python + Typer

Installation

Globally

You can install Terma-CLI through PyPI:

pip install terma-cli

Locally

git clone https://github.com/ShlokShar/terma.git
cd terma
pip install -e .

Usage

Basic Syntax

terma <command> <args>

Configuration

Terma-CLI uses a simple config system to set your AI provider, API key, and model. Configuration is required prior to executing the natural language command.

Supported config commands

Command	Description
terma config provider <provider>	Set the AI provider (e.g., openai, anthropic, google) & API key
terma config provider <provider> --api-key <key>	Set provider and API key in one line
terma config api-key	Set the API key separately
terma config model <model-name>	Sets the model (e.g., gpt-4-nano, claude-haiku-4-5, etc.)
terma config peek	View Terma's current configuration

Natural Language Execution

Translate any natural language instruction into a real command:

terma exec <instruction>

Example Commands

Input:

terma exec check node version

Output:

node --version

---

Input:

terma exec make a new directory called logs and move all .txt files into it

Output:

mkdir logs && mv *.txt logs/

(Actual output may differ depending on the AI provider/model.)

Config File Path

Terma automatically stores configuration settings at:

~/.config/terma/config.json

You do not need to create this manually.
