#### Describe a task in plain English, get a ready-to-run bash command

aicmd translates natural-language task descriptions into bash one-liners
using an AI model of your choice.

Press the configured key binding (default: Ctrl+G) at your shell prompt,
describe what you want to do, and the generated command lands directly in
your readline buffer — ready to review, edit, and run with Enter.

Supports any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama,
GitHub Models, etc.).

**Getting Started**

1. Install the snap: `sudo snap install aicmd`
2. Configure your endpoint, API key, and model:
   `snap set aicmd endpoint=<your_endpoint> api-key=<your_api_key> model=<your_model>`

**Shell Integration**

Shell integration scripts for bash and zsh are included under
/snap/aicmd/current/Shell/. Source the one matching your shell to enable
the key binding (Ctrl+G):

```
# bash — add to ~/.bashrc
source /snap/aicmd/current/Shell/aicmd.bash

# zsh — add to ~/.zshrc
source /snap/aicmd/current/Shell/aicmd.zsh
```

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install aicmd

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
