## What it is
IntelliShell is a command template and snippet manager for shells, offering smart search, dynamic variable completions, bookmarks, and AI-powered command generation and fixing. It integrates natively with Bash, Zsh, Fish, Nushell, and PowerShell via keybindings and a TUI.

## Use cases
- find that awk command I used months ago without scrolling shell history
- save reusable command templates with fillable variables
- get dynamic suggestions for template variables like git branches or docker containers
- fix a broken shell command with AI
- generate shell commands from natural language using a local or remote LLM
- bookmark frequently used commands in the terminal
- import command examples from tldr pages
- share my command library with my team

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want an intelligent, searchable command library beyond plain history search
- you want reusable command templates with interactive variable prompts and dynamic completions
- you want AI-assisted command generation and fixing across multiple shells
- you need a cross-platform Rust binary with fast, configurable search

## When to avoid
- you only need simple shell history search like fzf or atuin without templates
- you prefer GUI-based snippet managers
- you don't want to modify your shell configuration or install shell integrations
- you need a team-hosted centralized snippet service rather than local-first storage
