ccline — type a thought at your Windows Terminal zsh/bash prompt, get an AI answer

[Jian Shuo Wang (jianshuo)]

Hey Windows Terminal users!

I built ccline — a tiny shell hook that makes your terminal smarter when you type something that isn't a command.

You know how when you type something wrong or something that isn't a command, the shell just says "command not found"? ccline intercepts that and routes it to Claude (or Codex), prints an AI answer, and offers to run any shell commands it suggests — right there in your terminal.

Example:

$ how do I list hidden files
→ Use the -a flag with ls:
  ls -a

Commands found — ↑/↓ to choose, Enter to run:
❯ ls -a
  ✗ Cancel

It hooks into command_not_found_handler (zsh) or command_not_found_handle (bash), so it feels completely native — your normal commands work exactly as before.

Works great with Windows Terminal + WSL (zsh/bash). If you're already using Claude Code or Codex in your workflow, ccline gives you the same power directly at the shell prompt.

Curious whether people find this useful in WSL workflows!
