Getting Started

To start using amLazy, ensure you have a modern terminal emulator and basic shell access.

1. Installation As of now just Clone and build. Then copy to bin or wherever your commands are stored.

git clone https://github.com/nooooaaaaah/amLazy.git

Then create a directory amLazy under .config for api keys and other environment variables

mkdir ~/.config/amLazy

Then add the file config.env

cd ~/.config/amLazy
touch config.env

Open the config.env file and add your api key, assistant id, shell, OS and debug logging options

nvim config.env

It should look like this

OPENAI_API_KEY="{YOUR_API_KEY}"
OPENAI_ASSISTANT_ID="{YOUR_ASSISTANT_ID}"
USERS_SHELL="{SHELL}"
USERS_OS="{OS}"
LOGGING_ENABLED="false"

Setup Assistant

Go to open AI's playground to create an assistant. Feel free to use my instructions:

you are a tool to generate commands to be run in shell environments like zsh. You can pipe commands together but can not create full scripts. Just give the code for the user to run in their shell. only provide the command in the output.

2. Running amLazy

Launch amLazy with the following command:

amLazy
> "Type your question"

3. Using the Assistant

• Type your task or command intent: Such as "compress folder" or "download file from URL".

amLazy
> compress folder to zip

• Execute or Edit: Once you're satisfied with the suggested command copy it to the clipboard for manual execution.
