llm-cmd

https://github.com/simonw/llm-jq for those following along at home https://github.com/simonw/llm-cmd is what i use as the "actually good ffmpeg etc front end" and just to toot my own horn, I hand Simon's `llm` command lone tool access to its own todo list and read/write access to the cwd with my own tools, https://github.com/dannyob/llm-tools-todo and https://github.com/dannyob/llm-tools-patch Even with just these and no shell access it can get a lot done, because these tools encode the fundamental tricks of Claude Code ( I have `llmw` aliased to `llm --tool Patch --tool Todo --cl 0` so it will have access to these tools and can act in a loop, as Simon defines an agent. )

I've gotten a lot of utility out of LLM Cmd (https://github.com/simonw/llm-cmd), but one thing I didn't like was that generated commands don't show up in my shell history. I wrote a small shell function that loads the output commands as user input rather than executing them directly. This way, you can search through generated commands later!

I really like how it gives you multiple options to choose from. I've been using https://github.com/simonw/llm-cmd

I use ffmpeg multiple times a week thanks to LLMs. It's my top use-case for my "llm cmd" tool: uv tool install llm llm install llm-cmd llm cmd use ffmpeg to extract audio from myfile.mov and save that as mp3 https://github.com/simonw/llm-cmd

https://github.com/simonw/llm-cmd supports Anthropic (and a lot more models) to achieve the same.

I followed along with the blog post, but got unstuck with llm-cmd not working on Mac OS. Looks like this PR would fix it https://github.com/simonw/llm-cmd/pull/12

simonw's llm tool does this with a plugin: https://github.com/simonw/llm-cmd I'm with the others that want it in a command, not embedded in my terminal

This is what llm cmd does for any command, and it also offers a chance to edit it before running https://github.com/simonw/llm-cmd
