README

zsh-claude-code-shell

An oh-my-zsh plugin that translates natural language comments into shell commands using [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code).

Demo

# find all js files larger than 100kb modified in the last week and show their sizes

Press Enter, and the line becomes:

find . -name "*.js" -size +100k -mtime -7 -exec ls -lh {} \;

Review the command, press Enter again to execute.

Another example:

# recursively find and delete all node_modules folders

Becomes:

find . -type d -name "node_modules" -prune -exec rm -rf {} +
