Co-founder of Kommander here. For years, my co-founder and I have been frustrated by the constant context-switching of development: you're deep in code, then you have to stop, open a browser, and search for that one specific ffmpeg flag or the right rsync syntax.

We loved the idea of AI in the editor (like Cursor) but wanted that power directly in the terminal, where so much of our work happens.

So we built Kommander. It's a simple, open-source Python tool that lets you type what you want to do in plain English (kom ask "create a new python project, init git, and add a .gitignore"), and it generates the shell script for you. Crucially, it never executes anything automatically—it shows you the script first and asks for your approval.

It's cross-platform (PowerShell on Windows, bash/zsh on Linux/macOS) and uses Google's Gemini API (you bring your own key, which you can configure easily).

The project is MIT licensed and we just pushed v1.0.0 to PyPI (pip install kommander-cli).

We'd be honored to get your feedback. What do you think? Any and all thoughts are welcome!
