# How-to CLI

An AI-powered command-line interface assistant that instantly translates natural language requests into precise, executable shell commands.

## Features

- 🧠 **Natural Language Processing**: Convert plain English descriptions into accurate shell commands
- 🔒 **Safety First**: All generated commands require explicit confirmation before execution
- 🔄 **Multi-Provider Support**: Works with Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Groq APIs
- 💾 **Persistent Configuration**: Settings saved to `$HOME/.howto-cli-ai/config.json`
- 🌍 **Cross-Platform**: Generates compatible commands for Linux, macOS, and Windows
- 🎯 **Smart Context Detection**: Automatically detects operating system and shell environment

## Installation

```bash
pip install howto-cli-ai
```

## Quick Start

1. **Setup Your Provider**:
   ```bash
   how setup
   ```
   The interactive setup wizard will guide you through:
   - Selecting your preferred AI provider
   - Configuring API keys securely
   - Testing connectivity
   - Setting your default provider

2. **Generate Commands** (no quotes needed):
   ```bash
   how to list all files in current directory
   how to find all Python files larger than 1MB
   how to shutdown after 30 min
   how to create backup of home directory
   ```

## Configuration

The `how setup` command provides an enhanced interactive wizard for:
- **Provider Selection**: Choose from Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Groq with descriptions
- **API Key Management**: Securely configure API keys in persistent config file
- **Provider Switching**: Change your default provider at any time
- **Connection Testing**: Verify API connectivity before using

### Persistent Configuration

Configuration is automatically saved to `$HOME/.howto-cli-ai/config.json`:
- **API Keys**: Securely stored in JSON format with fallback to environment variables
- **Default Provider**: Your chosen provider is remembered across sessions  
- **Multiple Providers**: Configure all three providers and switch between them easily
- **Backward Compatible**: Existing environment variable workflows continue to work

```bash
# Location of config file
$HOME/.howto-cli-ai/config.json

# Example config structure
{
  "default_provider": "openai",
  "api_keys": {
    "openai": "sk-your-api-key"
  }
}
```

## Safety

- ✅ **Mandatory Confirmation**: Every generated command requires explicit approval
- ⚠️ **Destructive Operation Detection**: Potentially harmful commands are flagged with warnings
- 🔐 **Secure Key Storage**: API keys stored in user home directory with proper permissions
- 🔄 **Smart Fallbacks**: Graceful error handling and retry mechanisms

## Supported Providers

### 🟠 Google Gemini
- **Models**: `gemini-2.5-pro` (advanced), `gemini-2.5-flash` (default)
- **Features**: Fast response times, strong reasoning capabilities

### 🟢 OpenAI  
- **Models**: `gpt-4`, `gpt-4-turbo`, `gpt-3.5-turbo`
- **Features**: Highly capable general-purpose AI, excellent code generation

### 🔴 Groq
- **Models**: `llama-3.3-70b-versatile`, `llama-3.1-70b-versatile`, `mixtral-8x7b-32768`
- **Features**: Ultra-fast inference, cost-effective option

## Examples

```bash
# Basic file operations (no quotes needed)
how to list all JPEG files in current directory

# Complex operations with multiple steps
how to find files larger than 100MB and move them to archive

# System administration
how to check disk usage and show top 10 largest files

# Time-based operations
how to shutdown after 30 min
how to remind me to take a break in 15 minutes

# Development tasks
how to start a Python HTTP server on port 8000
how to kill all processes running on port 3000
```

## Advanced Usage

```bash
# Switch providers without losing API keys
how setup  # Re-run setup and choose different provider

# Check current configuration
cat $HOME/.howto-cli-ai/config.json

# Use environment variables (alternative to config file)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key"
export HOW_DEFAULT_PROVIDER="openai"
how to list docker containers

# Temporary provider override
GROQ_API_KEY="gsk-your-key" how to optimize system performance
```

## Configuration File

The configuration file is automatically created and managed:

```bash
# View your current configuration
cat ~/.howto-cli/config.json

# Manual configuration (optional)
{
  "default_provider": "gemini",
  "providers": {
    "gemini": {
      "api_key_env_var": "GEMINI_API_KEY",
      "default_model": "gemini-2.5-flash",
      "available_models": ["gemini-2.5-pro", "gemini-2.5-flash"]
    }
  },
  "api_keys": {
    "gemini": "your-gemini-api-key"
  }
}
```

## Troubleshooting

### Provider Not Working

```bash
# Test connectivity
how setup  # Re-run to test your selected provider

# Check API key
echo $GEMINI_API_KEY  # Verify your environment variable

# Check config
cat ~/.howto-cli-ai/config.json  # Verify persistent configuration
```

### Common Issues

- **"No API keys configured"**: Run `how setup` to configure your provider
- **"Provider failed"**: Check your API key and network connection
- **"Config file corrupted"**: Delete `~/.howto-cli-ai/config.json` and re-run setup

## Development

### Setup Development Environment

```bash
# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/howto-cli.git
cd howto-cli
# For local development (cloning from source)
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# For regular installation from PyPI
pip install howto-cli-ai
```

### Development Commands

```bash
# Run tests with coverage
pytest --cov=howto_cli

# Code formatting
black howto_cli/
ruff format howto_cli/

# Linting and type checking
ruff check howto_cli/
mypy howto_cli/

# Run CLI locally
python -m howto_cli.cli setup
python -m howto_cli.cli to "list all files"
```
