CLUSTER COMMAND-LINE-TERMINAL · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-02-05

AI terminal assistants

This cluster consists of command-line tools that answer natural-language questions, generate shell commands, or send prompts to AI language models from within a terminal. The dated history spans from February 2023 to July 2026, with no month having more than two entries, making a clear trajectory difficult to discern. All traction leaders (ai-retro-workbench, kiro-cli, umm) report zero stars, indicating minimal user engagement.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
