ccline — use your local/cloud LLM directly from the zsh shell prompt

[jianshuo]

Hey text-generation-webui community! 👋

You're already running powerful LLMs locally. I built ccline so you can query them (or Claude) without leaving your terminal.

The idea: type a thought at your zsh prompt and get an AI answer — no separate window needed:

$ how to recursively find all .py files modified today
$ explain what this regex does: ^(?!.*pattern)
$ what's the docker command to export a container's filesystem

ccline uses the command_not_found_handler hook in zsh — any unrecognized command becomes a question to your LLM.

Currently uses claude CLI or Codex (OpenAI's CLI tool) as backends. Adding support for custom backends (including local APIs) is on the roadmap — I'd love feedback from this community on what local LLM integration would look like.

Install:

brew install jianshuo/tap/ccline
# or: git clone https://github.com/jianshuo/ccline && source ccline.zsh

Curious if anyone has thoughts on local LLM backend integration! 🤔
