feat: Use eye-declare for more performant and flexible AI TUI (#3343)

2026-03-27T02:19:47Z

This PR replaces the mess of custom rendering code in Atuin AI with [eye-declare](https://github.com/BinaryMuse/eye-declare), and updates the TUI to feel more terminal-native: output appears inline and persists in scrollback, so you can scroll up and look at previous conversations for reference. The "review" state — which used to exist between the LLM generating a response and the user either executing or following up — has been removed; just start typing to follow up with the LLM, or press `enter` at the empty input box to execute the suggested command.

It feels much, much nicer this way. This has also been asked for pretty consistently since we made inline rendering the default. Now we can have everything :) Maintains a shadow vt100 renderer so that we can restore the terminal state upon popup close. This happens on a background thread, so our impact on terminal performance should still be super minimal, if anything ## Checks - [ ] I am happy for maintainers to push small adjustments to this PR, to speed up the review cycle - [ ] I have checked that there are no existing pull requests for the same thing

feat: Generate commands or ask questions with `atuin ai` (#3199)

This PR refines the system created in #3178 to be suitable for a v1 release. --- ## Overview `atuin-ai` is a separate binary that allows for generating commands and asking questions from the command line. It is fully opt-in. ## Usage `atuin ai init` will output bindings for your shell. Currently, bash, zsh, and fish are supported. ```bash eval "$(atuin ai init)" ``` Once the hooks are installed, just press `?` on an empty prompt line to call up the TUI. `atuin ai` requires an account on [Atuin Hub](https://hub.atuin.sh/); you will be prompted to log in on first use. ## Features ### Command generation Prompt the LLM to create a command, and get one back, no fuss. Press `enter` to run, or `tab` to insert. ``` ┌Ask questions or generate a command:──────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ > Get a list of running docker containers │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ $ docker ps │ │ │ └────[Enter]: Run [Tab]: Insert [f]: Follow-up [Esc]: Cancel┘ ``` ### Follow-up You can follow-up with `f` to specify a refinement prompt to update the command that will be inserted. ``` ┌Ask questions or generate a command:──────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ > Get a list of running docker containers │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ $ docker ps │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ > Actually I want to get all docker containers │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ $ docker ps -a │ │ │ └────[Enter]: Run [Tab]: Insert [f]: Follow-up [Esc]: Cancel┘ ``` You can also follow-up with questions to get responses in natural language. ``` ┌Ask questions or generate a command:──────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ > Get a list of running docker containers │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ $ docker ps │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ > Actually I want to get all docker containers │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ $ docker ps -a │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ > What other useful flags to `docker ps` should I know? │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ Here are some handy `docker ps` flags: │ │ │ │ - `-q` — Only show container IDs (great for piping to │ │ other commands) │ │ - `-s` — Show container sizes │ │ - `-n 5` — Show the last 5 created containers │ │ - `-l` — Show only the latest created container │ │ - `--no-trunc` — Don't truncate output (shows full IDs and │ │ commands) │ │ - `-f` or `--filter` — Filter by condition, e.g.: │ │ - `-f status=exited` — only exited containers │ │ - `-f name=myapp` — filter by name │ │ - `-f ancestor=nginx` — filter by image │ │ - `--format` — Custom output using Go templates, e.g.: │ │ `--format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}"` │ │ │ │ A common combo is `docker ps -aq` to get all container │ │ IDs, useful for bulk operations like `docker rm $(docker │ │ ps -aq)`. │ │ │ └────[Enter]: Run [Tab]: Insert [f]: Follow-up [Esc]: Cancel┘ ``` You can use `enter` or `tab` at any time to run or insert the last suggested command, even if it was suggested in a previous turn. ### Conversational and search usage If you prompt the LLM with a question that doesn't imply you want to generate a command, it can respond in natural language, and use web search if necessary to fetch the data it needs. ``` ┌Ask questions or generate a command:──────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ > What is the latest version of atuin? │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ✓ Used 2 tools │ │ │ │ The latest version of Atuin is **v18.12.0**, available on │ │ the [GitHub releases │ │ page](https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin/releases). │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────[f]: Follow-up [Esc]: Cancel┘ ``` ### Dangerous or low-confidence command detection The LLM scores its confidence in the command, as well as how dangerous the command is. This information is shown if a threshold is exceeded, and requires an extra confirmation step before running automatically with `enter`. The Atuin Hub server also monitors suggested commands for dangerous patterns the LLM didn't catch, and appends its own assessment at the end of the LLM's own assessment. ``` ┌Ask questions or generate a command:──────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ > Delete all files from $HOME │ │ │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ $ rm -rf $HOME/* │ │ │ │ ! ⚠️ This will PERMANENTLY delete ALL files and directories │ │ in your home directory, including documents, downloads, │ │ configurations, SSH keys, and everything else. This is │ │ irreversible and will likely break your system. Also note │ │ this won't delete hidden (dot) files — if you want those │ │ too, that's even more destructive.; [Server] Recursive │ │ delete of critical directory │ │ │ └────[Enter]: Run [Tab]: Insert [f]: Follow-up [Esc]: Cancel┘ ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.5
