ccline

Type a thought directly at your shell prompt — no command, no prefix — and get an answer. If the answer contains shell commands, confirm once and run them.

$ how do I find files bigger than 100MB here

    find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size +100M       (rendered, colorized)

This lists files in the current directory only.

Commands found — ↑/↓ to choose, Enter to run, q to cancel:
 ❯ find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size +100M
   find . -type f -size +100M
   ➤ Run all of them
   ✗ Cancel
$ find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size +100M

The answer is rendered as Markdown (headings, bold, inline code, bullets, and colorized code blocks) when printed to a terminal.

Why ccline?

• Open a new terminal tab, run claude -p "...", copy

With ccline: just type the question where you already are. The answer appears inline, and if there's a runnable command, one keypress executes it in your live shell — cd, export, history and all.

How it works

It hijacks zsh's command_not_found_handler. When you type something that isn't a real command, zsh hands the whole line to ccline:

• One word (gti) → treated as a normal typo: zsh: command not found: gti.
• Two or more words → treated as a thought, sent to your LLM CLI. The answer is rendered as Markdown. Any runnable commands are shown in an arrow-key menu — ↑/↓ to move, Enter to run the highlighted command (or "Run all of them"), q to cancel. When stdout isn't a terminal (piped/redirected), it falls back to a typed prompt (1-N, a=all, Enter=non
