COMMON WORKFLOWS

Real EveryCli workflows for command discovery, safer planning, corpus customisation, and shell integration.

Find a Git command

Describe the task in natural language and let the local corpus retrieve the command:

bash

$everycli search "undo my last commit without losing my changes"

Scope a Docker search

Use a namespace hint in the query when the tool is known:

bash

$everycli search "docker: remove unused images"

Inspect several candidates

--top returns additional matches; --interactive lets you pick one with arrow keys.

bash

$everycli search "create an SSH key" --top 3
$everycli search "create an SSH key" --interactive

Add a custom command

Save a command you use often to the local corpus so EveryCli can surface it in future searches:

bash

$everycli add

Plan before a risky action

Sentinel returns risk level and preflight checks — it never runs anything automatically.

bash

$everycli plan "remove unused Docker images safely"

Ask an LLM and save to corpus

If a command is not yet in your corpus, ask any configured LLM API and optionally save the returned command for instant offline lookup:

bash

$# 1. Configure once
$everycli config set api_key sk-...
$ 
$# 2. Ask and optionally save into ~/.everycli/commands/
$everycli ask "compress a folder into tar.gz"

List and remove personal corpus entries

bash

$everycli list
$everycli remove my_custom_id
