Dumb CLI

Dumb CLI is a command-line tool that interprets natural language prompts and executes them as shell commands. It can handle multi-step logic, making your workflow easier and more intuitive.

Generated command:

md_file=$(find . -name "*.md" -print -quit)
echo "$md_file"
line_count=$(wc -l <"$md_file" | awk '{print $1}')
echo "$line_count"
echo $((line_count / 7))

Interactive Mode

For a more interactive experience, add this function to your ~/.zshrc:

function dumb() {
    if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Usage: dumb <your command>"
        echo "Example: dumb 'create a branch and change into that branch'"
        return 1
    fi
    local input_string="$*"
    local output
    local confirm
    output=$(dumb-cli "$input_string")
    echo "Generated command:"
    echo "$output"
    echo -n "Do you want to execute this command? (y/N): "
    read -q confirm
    echo ""
    if [[ $confirm == "y" ]]; then
        echo "Executing command..."
        eval "$output"
    else
        echo "Command execution cancelled"
    fi
}

After adding this function:

1. Source your ~/.zshrc: source ~/.zshrc
2. Use it like this: `zsh dumb "create a new branch named feature and switch to it"

   It will show you the command and ask for confirmation`

Keyboard Shortcut (Option + D)

Add this enhanced keyboard shortcut to your ~/.zshrc for quick access with visual feedback:

YELLOW='\033[1;33m'
NC='\033[0m' 

_dumb_wrap_and_run() {
  if [[ -n "$BUFFER" ]]; then
    print ""
    echo -e "${YELLOW}Converting to dumb command:${NC} $BUFFER"
    zle reset-prompt    
    eval "dumb $BUFFER" 
    BUFFER=""           
    zle reset-prompt    
  else
    BUFFER="dumb "
    zle reset-prompt    
  fi
}

zle -N _dumb_wrap_and_run
bindkey '^[d' _dumb_wrap_and_run

Features:

• Press Option+D to instantly start a new dumb command
• Convert existing terminal text into a dumb command with visual highlight
• Clear visual feedback when converting text

Usage:

1. Empty prompt: Press Option+D to start a new dumb command
2. With existing text: Type your command and press Option+D to convert it with visual highlight
