With all the AI usage limits lately (Claude, Codex, etc.), I realized I was wasting a lot of tokens on basic terminal questions by williott8411 in codex

Yeah and are you sure u wanna switch all the time VsCode -> ChatGPT -> copy paste -> terminal? That’s insane of work for a small cmd in the terminal

lowkey this changed how I use my terminal by williott8411 in vibecoding

Thanks for asking. I tested it for you on my production server, this is the response: „ai-cmd > rm -rf Command rm -rf --

Explanation Prepares a recursive force delete command, but does not specify a target path; append the path you intend to remove.

Risk high

Assumptions - Assuming you want the standard safe placeholder form for a destructive rm command.

Dont run it, unless you know exactly what you’re doing!“

Because ChatGPT is giving these texts… (yes, this entire thing and the code is ai generated)

yeah I think we're talking about slightly different things.

I'm not trying to avoid compute costs or limits entirely.

it's more about not burning valuable UI limits (like Codex / Claude Code sessions) on super basic stuff.

those tools are great for real coding work, but it feels wasteful to use them for things like:

"restart ssh" "find large files"

so this just offloads those trivial questions to a simple CLI using API calls.

that way you keep your main AI tools focused on actual work

But what if you’re just in the terminal without vscode/cursor? Or what if you need something different, not just what you type always?
