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.
```

│ │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ 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┘
