Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

reinvent-cli

v1.0.11

Published

A commandline tool that allows you to reinvent every command on your computer.

Readme

Reinvent CLI

A powerful command-line tool that revolutionizes how you interact with your terminal by providing AI-powered command generation, interactive assistance, and command hijacking capabilities.

🌟 Features

  • AI-Powered Command Generation: Convert natural language into executable terminal commands
  • Interactive Mode: Continuous AI assistance with conversation memory
  • Command Hijacking: Seamlessly enhance existing system commands with AI capabilities
  • Proxy Mode: Intercept and enhance any command with natural language parameters
  • Script Mode: Save and reuse command templates
  • Cross-Platform Support: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Conversation Memory: Maintains context across multiple interactions

🚀 Installation

npm install -g reinvent-cli

📖 Usage

1. Ask Mode - Direct AI Commands

# Ask AI to perform any task
reinvent ask "list all files in current directory"
reinvent ask "create a backup of my documents"
reinvent ask "find all Python files and count them"

2. Interactive Mode - Continuous AI Assistant

# Start an interactive AI session
reinvent interactive

In interactive mode, you can:

  • Have continuous conversations with AI
  • Execute commands with context from previous interactions
  • Build complex workflows step by step
  • Get real-time command recommendations

3. Command Hijacking - Enhance System Commands

# Hijack any system command to add AI capabilities
reinvent ls
reinvent find
reinvent git

After hijacking, the original command becomes AI-enhanced:

ls "show only files modified today"
find "search for files containing 'config'"
git "show recent commits"

4. Proxy Mode - Advanced Command Interception

# Use proxy mode for complex command scenarios
reinvent proxy

5. Help and Documentation

# Get detailed help information
reinvent help

🎯 Examples

Basic Usage Examples

# File operations
reinvent ask "create a new directory called projects"
reinvent ask "list all text files in current directory"
reinvent ask "find files larger than 1MB"

# System operations
reinvent ask "check disk space usage"
reinvent ask "show running processes"
reinvent ask "install a package"

# Development tasks
reinvent ask "initialize a new Node.js project"
reinvent ask "create a Python virtual environment"
reinvent ask "clone a repository from GitHub"

Interactive Session Example

reinvent interactive

# Session flow:
# 1. "I want to set up a new web project"
# 2. AI suggests: mkdir my-project && cd my-project && npm init -y
# 3. "Add Express framework"
# 4. AI suggests: npm install express
# 5. "Create a basic server file"
# 6. AI suggests: touch server.js && echo "const express = require('express');..." > server.js

Command Hijacking Examples

# Hijack ls command
reinvent ls

# Now you can use enhanced ls:
ls "show only directories"
ls "files modified in last 24 hours"
ls "sort by size, largest first"

# Hijack git command
reinvent git

# Enhanced git commands:
git "show recent commits"
git "check status of all branches"
git "create a new feature branch"

⚙️ Configuration

Shell Configuration

The tool automatically configures your shell for command hijacking:

  • Windows: PowerShell profile (Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1)
  • macOS/Linux: .zshrc (Zsh) or .bashrc (Bash)

🔧 How It Works

1. AI Integration

  • Connects to AI services for natural language processing
  • Maintains conversation context across sessions
  • Provides intelligent command suggestions

2. Command Execution

  • Validates commands before execution
  • Provides confirmation prompts for safety
  • Executes commands line by line with real-time feedback

3. Context Awareness

  • Analyzes current directory structure
  • Considers system information and available files
  • Maintains conversation history for contextual responses

4. Safety Features

  • Command validation before execution
  • User confirmation for potentially destructive operations
  • Error handling and graceful failure recovery
