ccline — type a thought at your zsh prompt, Claude answers and runs the command

[jianshuo]

Hi everyone!

I built ccline — a zsh shell integration that brings the claude CLI to your everyday terminal workflow.

The concept: instead of switching windows to ask Claude a question, you just type it directly at your zsh prompt.

How it works: ccline hijacks command_not_found_handler. When you type something that is not a real command:

• One word → treated as a normal typo
• Two or more words → sent to Claude (or Codex as fallback), answer rendered as Markdown

Any shell commands in the answer appear in an arrow-key menu — hit Enter and they run in your live shell (so cd, export, history all persist).

$ how do I find files bigger than 100MB here

    find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size +100M       (rendered as Markdown)

Commands found — ↑/↓ to choose, Enter to run, q to cancel:
 ❯ find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size +100M
   find . -type f -size +100M
   ➤ Run all of them
   ✗ Cancel
$ find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size +100M
./big.iso

Install (one line):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jianshuo/ccline/v0.2.2/install.sh | bash

Requires zsh + the claude CLI (which all Claude Code users already have). No extra dependencies.
