What it is sold for

Reading a file in the terminal and being able to see it.

Same shelf

The rest of terminal and cli, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.

• agx
  Runs coding agents as long-lived workers with objectives and memory, so a session survives being interrupted.
• AICommits
  A small CLI that writes the commit message from the staged diff.
• Amazon Q Developer CLI
  Amazon Q in the terminal: completion for hundreds of CLIs, natural language chat and command generation.
• Butterfish
  Puts a model inside the shell itself, so the prompt and the terminal are the same prompt.
• ccr
  A searchable shell history that is project-aware, synced and encrypted, replacing reverse search.
• codachi
  A virtual pet that lives in the Claude Code status line and reacts to what you are doing.
• exa did not answer
  A modern ls with colours, icons and git awareness. The site timed out; the project is now maintained as eza.
• Fig did not answer
  Brought IDE-style autocomplete to the terminal. Acquired by Amazon and folded into Amazon Q. The site returns a server error.
