GPT cli

An interactive ChatGPT client featuring shortcuts and auto-complete.

What are shortcuts?

Shortcuts are shorthand for specifc prompts. So for example:

• expand could be defined as shortcut for:

  Expand the following text. Use concise language, an academic tone, avoid unecessary words

• translate could be defined as shortcut for:

  I want you to act as an English translator, spelling corrector and improver. I will speak to you in any language and you will detect the language, translate it and answer in the corrected and improved version of my text, in English. My first sentence is

• pwgen could be defined as shortcut for:

  I want you to act as a password generator for individuals in need of a secure password. Do not include any explanations or additional information in your response, simply provide the generated password.

and so on...

How can I create my shortcuts?

Create a regular text file in which each line has the format:

keyword = prompt 

Then define the environment variable GPTCLI_SHORTCUTS in such a way that it points to this file.

Here is an example of a file with shortcuts.

expand = Expand the following text. Use concise language, an academic tone, avoid unecessary words
translate = I want you to act as an English translator, spelling corrector and improver. I will speak to you in any language and you will detect the language, translate it and answer in the corrected and improved version of my text, in English. My first sentence is
pwgen = I want you to act as a password generator for individuals in need of a secure password. Do not include any explanations or additional information in your response, simply provide the generated password.

How to Run?

Get an API key from OpenAI:

• store it in the environment variable GPTCLI_API_KEY
