ccline: AI at the zsh prompt — for kitty power users

[jianshuo]

Hey kitty community! 🐱

If you're using kitty, you're clearly someone who cares about terminal performance and features. I built something that adds a useful layer to your terminal workflow.

It's ccline — natural language at the zsh prompt.

What it does

ccline hijacks zsh's command_not_found_handler. Type something that isn't a real command — plain English, a question, an intention — and it asks Claude AI. The answer renders as Markdown right in your terminal. Press Enter to run suggested commands.

$ create a new kitty tab with a specific title
→ kitten @ new-tab --tab-title "my-tab"
→ [press Enter to run]

$ show all processes using more than 500MB of memory
→ ps aux | awk '$6 > 500000' | sort -nrk6
→ [press Enter to run]

$ watch a file for changes and run a command when it changes
→ fswatch -o file.txt | xargs -n1 sh -c "echo changed"
→ [press Enter to run]

No extra windows, no browser tabs — just type your question at the prompt and get an answer.
