What Ccli Prompt does

Cursor's Cmd+K inline prompt, but for your zsh terminal. Powered by Claude via a tiny persistent daemon.

README

ccli-prompt

Cursor's **Cmd+K** inline prompt, but for your zsh terminal.

Press **Cmd+K** at your prompt, type what you want ("kill port 9090", "find files bigger than 100mb", "tar this folder"), hit Enter, and a ready-to-run shell command lands on your command line. Review it, Enter to run it.

Fast because there's no `claude` CLI boot per call: a tiny Python daemon runs in the background, holds one open HTTPS connection to `api.anthropic.com`, and reuses the OAuth token you already have from Claude Code (or a plain Anthropic API key). Typical latency: ~500 ms on warm connection + Haiku inference.

Install

pipx install ccli-prompt      # recommended (isolated venv)
# or: pip install ccli-prompt

ccli-prompt install           # runs the interactive wizard (auth + model pick)

The wizard:

Authentication — auto-discover from Claude Code credentials, or paste a key (accepts both sk-ant-api03-... and sk-ant-oat01-...).
Model — lists live models from /v1/models. Haiku 4.5 is the default.

Requirements: macOS or Linux, zsh 5.x+, Python 3.10+. The daemon has zero dependencies (stdlib only).

Trigger it

Two ways — pick either:

**Esc then K** — works immediately, no terminal config needed. Press `Esc`, then `K` (sequence, not chord).

**Cmd+K / Ctrl+K** — remap it in your terminal to send `ESC+k`:

Terminal	How
iTerm2	Settings → Profiles → Keys → `+` · Shortcut `⌘K` · Action Send Escape Sequence · Esc+: `k`
Terminal.app	Settings → Profiles → Keyboard → `+` · `⌘` + `K` · Send Text · `Ctrl+V` then `Esc`, then `k`
Ghostty	`keybind = cmd+k=text:\x1bk` in `~/.config/ghostty/config`
Warp	Settings → Keyboard → bind `⌘K`
