Comment on Clud – super light-weight tool to turn natural language to terminal commands

Comments

Like the thing in Warp, but, you know, without Warp.

Useful for quick command lookups, like trying to remember those ffmpeg arguments, for example. Just go:

clud convert file movie.mov to h264 optimized for web and write to out.mp4

And it responds with:

Suggested command: ffmpeg -i movie.mov -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 128k out.mp4

Run it? [y/N]

Written mostly in bash script but some dependencies on curl and python3. Might try to remove python3 dependency at some point. Just used for JSON parsing/serializing.

You need an API key for Gemini, OpenAI or Claude.

Feature requests are welcome!
