Ask – Convert natural language into local shell commands

Summary: Ask uses local AI via Ollama to translate natural language into shell commands without sending data to the cloud. It detects project types like Go, Node, Python, and Rust to tailor commands, provides safety warnings for dangerous commands, and offers an explain mode to clarify command functions.

What it does

Ask converts plain language requests into shell commands using an AI model running entirely on the user's machine. It identifies the current project environment to customize commands and flags risky commands before execution.

Who it's for

Developers and users who frequently search for shell commands and want a private, offline tool to generate and understand them.

Why it matters

It eliminates the need to search externally for shell commands while ensuring privacy and safety by running fully locally and warning about dangerous operations.
