## What it is
IRedis is an interactive terminal client for Redis with auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and human-friendly output formatting. It serves as a drop-in alternative to redis-cli, adding safety features like blocking dangerous commands and context-aware key completion.

## Use cases
- interactive redis terminal client with autocompletion
- replace redis-cli with syntax highlighting
- safely run redis commands on production servers
- peek at redis key values without knowing the type
- pipe redis command output to shell tools like jq
- connect to redis cluster with MOVED redirect handling

## When to choose
- you want a friendlier, safer interactive alternative to redis-cli
- you need command completion, hints, and built-in Redis documentation in the terminal
- you work with Redis clusters or want to block dangerous commands like KEYS *

## When to avoid
- you need programmatic access to Redis from application code - use a Redis client library instead
- you need a GUI for browsing Redis data
- you rely on redis-cli scripting behavior that IRedis does not fully replicate
