ccline: AI at the zsh prompt — built for fd/fzf-style power users

[jianshuo]

Hey fd community! 🔍

fd users clearly care about their terminal tools — using the fast, modern alternative to find. I built something in that spirit.

It's ccline — natural language at the zsh prompt.

What it does

ccline hijacks zsh's command_not_found_handler. Type something that isn't a real command — plain English, a question — and it asks Claude AI. Answer renders as Markdown. Press Enter to run.

$ find all python files modified in the last week
→ fd --type f --extension py --changed-within 1w
→ [press Enter to run]

$ find and delete all node_modules directories
→ fd -t d node_modules --exec rm -rf
→ [press Enter to run]

$ find all hidden files in home directory
→ fd --hidden --no-ignore . ~
→ [press Enter to run]

When you know you want fd but can't remember the exact flags — just type what you mean.
