Butterfish Shell is an AI-powered shell interface that adds OpenAI prompting to your command line environment, similar to Github Copilot but for shell commands.
You can interact with Butterfish Shell by starting commands with a capital letter to prompt the AI, enabling high-context AI help without copy-pasting.
The shell can perform actions like providing commands, debugging, and even engaging in casual conversation, making it a versatile tool for command line users.
Butterfish Shell installation and authentication can be done on MacOS and Linux using Homebrew or Go install, with OpenAI API key required for authentication.
It integrates well with bash and zsh on MacOS/Linux, intercepting shell IO to provide useful features like autosuggest, goal mode, and customizable prompts.
Goal Mode in Butterfish Shell allows an agent to execute commands to reach a specified goal, providing helpful guidance and assistance.
The architecture of Butterfish Shell involves intercepting shell input and output, forwarding most input to the shell, but capturing prompts starting with a capital letter for AI processing.
Butterfish Shell uses the OpenAI ChatGPT API for AI prompting, creating histories for conversations and requesting assistance based on the context provided.
The shell wrapper aims not to interfere with normal shell operations, enhancing the user experience without disrupting usual workflow.
Butterfish Shell offers various commands for LLM prompting, text summarization, indexing, and more, making it a comprehensive tool for shell-based AI interactions.
The project is open source under the MIT License, designed to make users faster and more effective using LLMs in a transparent and user-friendly manner.
