Oscar's Shell

Oscar's Shell is an interactive AI-powered shell assistant designed to run within a Zsh instance. It leverages a pseudoterminal (PTY) to provide real-time assistance and feedback by linking the shell with an AI assistant. This integration is achieved using inter-process communication (IPC), allowing seamless interaction between the shell and the AI assistant.

Features

• Real-time AI Assistance: Get instant feedback and recommendations from the AI assistant while working in the shell.
• Seamless Integration with Zsh: Designed specifically for Zsh users to enhance productivity.
• Interactive PTY Support: The shell and AI communicate through a pseudoterminal for a responsive experience.
• Customizable AI Model: Configure your preferred AI model and API key in config.json.
• Cross-Platform GUI: The AI assistant window is powered by tk and pywebview for a smooth user experience.
