The assistant lives in the shell, not beside it.

What it is sold for

Getting model help without leaving the command line.

Same shelf

The rest of terminal and cli, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.

• agx
  Runs coding agents as long-lived workers with objectives and memory, so a session survives being interrupted.
• AICommits
  A small CLI that writes the commit message from the staged diff.
• Amazon Q Developer CLI
  Amazon Q in the terminal: completion for hundreds of CLIs, natural language chat and command generation.
• bat
  A replacement for cat with syntax highlighting, line numbers and git markers, paged by default.
• ccr
  A searchable shell history that is project-aware, synced and encrypted, replacing reverse search.
• codachi
  A virtual pet that lives in the Claude Code status line and reacts to what you are doing.
• exa did not answer
  A modern ls with colours, icons and git awareness. The site timed out; the project is now maintained as eza.
• Fig did not answer
  Brought IDE-style autocomplete to the terminal. Acquired by Amazon and folded into Amazon Q. The site returns a server error.
