Magics is an AI-powered extension of ls-- at a glance you can get an idea of the more complex purpose of files and directories. It's powered by OpenAI ChatGPT in the backend, and it gets context on relevant files and directories to make smart summaries of what you're looking at.
Magics is available available on the Node Package Registry! Install it with:
npm install -g magics-ls
To use Magics, set your OpenAI API key as such:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-...
Then, just run ms to list the contents of the current directory along with helpful summaries.
$ ms
