# clevercli



**clevercli** is a CLI that queries OpenAI models (e.g. ChatGPT). New prompt types can easily be added and there is a growing list of community maintained prompts.



Some examples:



```console

$ $(clevercli unix-command "undo the last commit")

$ clevercli unix-command "add a collaborator to a npm package"

$ clevercli eli5 "why is the sky blue?"

$ man du | clevercli summarize

$ clevercli convert-to-rust < index.ts > main.rs

$ clevercli ask "in node.js, how to check if stdin is open?"

```



## Install



```console

$ npm install -g @clevercli/cli

```



Requires Node v16+.



## Usage



```console

$ clevercli  

```



Or using `stdin`:



```console

$ echo "" | clevercli 

```



List available prompt types:



```

$ clevercli --list

```



Requires an [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys). Add `export OPENAI_API_KEY=""` to your shell script (e.g. `~/.bashrc`).



## Examples



```console

$ clevercli joke "banana"

Why did the banana go to the doctor? Because it wasn't peeling well!

$ echo "what is stdin?" | clevercli eli5

...

$ man du | clevercli summarize

...

$ clevercli convert-to-rust < index.ts > main.rs

```



Tip: since many answers use markdown, you can pipe to [glow](https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow) to get a nicer rendering:



```console

$ clevercli ask "in node.js, how to check if stdin is open?" | glow

```

## Built-in prompts



- [ask](./src/prompts/ask.ts) Just passes through the input directly to ChatGPT.



Example: `clevercli ask "in node.js, how to check if stdin is open?"`



- [eli5](./src/prompts/eli5.ts): Explain Me Like I'm 5.



Example: `clevercli eli5 "why is the sky blue?"`



- [joke](./src/prompts/joke.ts): Tells a joke about the topic.



Example: `clevercli joke "git being difficult to learn"`



- [refactor](./src/prompts/refactor.ts): Asks ChatGPT to refactor code in a file.



Example: `clevercli refactor < index.ts`



- [poem](./src/prompts/poem.ts): Asks ChatGPT to write a small poem on the topic.



Example: `clevercli poem "hacker news"`



- [recipe](./src/prompts/recipe.ts): Outputs recipe suggestions given a list of available ingredients.



Example: `clevercli recipe "ham, cheese, bread"`



- [summarize](./src/prompts/summarize.ts) Outputs a short summary of the text.



Example: `clevercli summarize < README.md`



- [synonyms](./src/prompts/synonyms.ts): List synonyms for the input words.



Example: `clevercli synonyms "cat"`



- [convert-to-rust](./src/prompts/convert-to-rust.ts): Converts file to Rust



Example: `clevercli convert-to-rust < index.ts > main.rs`



- [convert-to-typescript](./src/prompts/convert-to-typescript.ts): Converts file to TypeScript



Example: `clevercli convert-to-typescript < index.js > main.ts`



- [unix-command](./src/prompts/unix-command.ts): Outputs a UNIX command based on the input description.



Example: `bash -c $(clevercli unix-command "list all .md files")`



- [regex](./src/prompts/regex.ts): Outputs a JavaScript-compatible RegEx that matches the input examples.



Example `clevercli regex "http://google.com https://news.ycombinator.com/some/path"`



- [jsdoc](./src/prompts/jsdoc.ts): Adds JSDoc comments to exported functions.



Example `clevercli jsdoc < index.js`



See [./src/prompts/](./src/prompts) for the list of available prompts.



See [Adding a built-in prompt](#adding-a-built-in-prompt) for adding an official prompt.



## Adding a prompt



Create a file `~/.clevercli/.mjs` which returns an object that follows the `PromptConfiguration` interface.



```typescript

export interface PromptConfiguration {

  createPrompt(input: string): string;

  model?: string;

  description?: string;

}

```



For example:



```javascript

// eli5.mjs

export default {

  createPrompt(input) {

    return `Provide a very detailed explanation but like I am 5 years old (ELI5) on this topic: ${input}.\n###\n`;

  },

};

```



## Adding a built-in prompt



1. Fork the repository.



2. Create a new prompt configuration in [./src/prompts/](./src/prompts/). You can use the [eli5](./src/prompts/eli5.ts) prompt configuration as a base.



3. Send a pull request!



Here's a sample prompt configuration:



```typescript

import { ParsedResponse, PromptConfiguration } from "../types.js";



const promptConfiguration: PromptConfiguration = {

  createPrompt(input: string) {

    return `Provide a very detailed explanation but like I am 5 years old (ELI5) on this topic: ${input}.\n###\n`;

  },

  parseResponse(response: string): ParsedResponse {

    return { message: response };

  },

};



export default promptConfiguration;

```



## Cache



Query results are cached on your filesystem's cache directory.



## Debugging



```

DEBUG="clevercli:*" clevercli eli5 "friendship"

```



## TODO



- [x] Streaming API.

- [ ] Proper CLI arg parsing and options

- [ ] GH workflow + tests

- [ ] Support older Node.js versions?

- [ ] Interactively prompt OpenAI API key and save to filesystem (when OPENAPI_KEY is not set)

- [ ] Distributed cache (not just local)
