IntelliSense-style command template manager for your shell

TLDR

Search saved commands interactively (shell hotkey)

$ # Press Ctrl+Space in your shell

Bookmark the last executed command (shell hotkey)

$ # Press Ctrl+B in your shell

Fix the current command with AI (shell hotkey)

$ # Press Ctrl+X in your shell

Add a command template from the CLI

$ intelli-shell new "[command_template]" -d "[description]"

Search commands from the CLI

$ intelli-shell search "[query]"

Import commands from a file or URL

$ intelli-shell import [path_or_url]

Export your command library

SYNOPSIS

intelli-shell subcommand [options]

intelli-shell is a cross-platform command template and snippet manager written in Rust. It turns your terminal into a searchable library of commands that can be recalled with a keybinding and expanded with parameterized variables.It integrates with Bash, Zsh, Fish, Nushell, and PowerShell. Once the shell hook is installed, Ctrl+Space opens an interactive fuzzy search over your stored commands, Ctrl+B bookmarks the last executed line, and Ctrl+X asks a configured LLM to fix the current line.Templates support dynamic variables such as `{{file}}` with optional suggestion generators, workspace-local command sets, and tag-based categorization.

SUBCOMMANDS

new

Create a new command template.

search

Search stored commands (optionally interactively).

replace

import

Import commands from a file, URL, or Gist.

CAVEATS

Shell integration requires sourcing the hook script provided by intelli-shell init in your shell's rc file. AI-powered fixes require configuring an API key (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, etc.) in ~/.config/intelli-shell/config.toml. Workspace awareness relies on .intellishell files in project directories.

HISTORY

intelli-shell is maintained by lasantosr and is written in Rust. It was created to bring IDE-like autocomplete and command management to the terminal.
