bash4llm

You need to figure out how to prompt to get much more concise code. This is just a casual scroll through for 2 seconds at function names i recognize and can tell are crap. https://github.com/kamaludu/bash4llm/blob/d7258163dc1cbeb6ae... https://github.com/kamaludu/bash4llm/blob/d7258163dc1cbeb6ae... https://github.com/kamaludu/bash4llm/blob/d7258163dc1cbeb6ae... Sorry but this is crap. If you trust it to be an entirely self-contained abstraction that is fine. But if I'm building a brick house, and smash open 1 of the bricks, i dont want it to look this shoddy. Any LLM you point at it, is going to be drastically dumber in editing it or auditing it because it needs to first parse all the crap a previous LLM generated. The fewer lines of code things use the better - it keeps models smarter when it matters. Plus it saves money in the long run.

Bash4LLM is a single-file Bash wrapper for interacting with LLMs from the terminal. I created it because I wanted something simple that worked without installing Python, Node, or any other runtime. It uses only Bash, curl, and jq. You can send prompts, start a small chat, process files line by line, stream output, and save session metadata in JSON format. I tried to make it safe and predictable: no use of the system /tmp, no use of eval. Groq is supported by default, and other providers can be added with dedicated Bash scripts in the extras/providers/ folder. Example: echo "explains the command: ls -l" | ./bash4llm
