List the files with grep -rl before you touch them, then pipe into sed. Handles spaces in filenames, skips node_modules, and works the same on macOS.

The command is find /path -type f -mtime +30 -delete — but run it once without -delete first. Six ways to ask for it in plain English, and the flag order that wipes the wrong directory.

Top processes by CPU, memory hogs, disk I/O, network bandwidth — without remembering which top key sorts what.

Junior types "show me the staging logs for service X" — gets the right command, runs it, learns the shape.

CliAI is great for ad-hoc tasks. Here's the moment to copy the result into a .sh and put it under review.

"Make this script executable for me only", "give the team write access" — readable English in, correct mode out.

Total balance, daily window, per-minute rate — and when the cache saves you a request.

"Copy this folder to staging excluding node_modules" — the right rsync, generated.

Stop counting asterisks. Describe the schedule in English, get the right cron line.

Press R, add context, get a better command — without retyping the task.

Three tiers, server-side. Why rm -rf / will always pause for your "yes".

CliAI detects $COMSPEC on Windows and hands off to cmd or PowerShell — same prompts, native commands.
