so you would expect it to answer it "correctly"

Serious question. Why npm? I mean it's a command line tool; why buy in to the JavaScript ecosystem?

true, but nothing (besides how entrenched sh is) prevents replacing it with a real language. you don't need to use a posix shell in your terminal, any REPL that can launch executables will do. i used tclsh as my shell for a while, for instance.

I'm a Frontend dev that's why I used JS but I can also publish to brew or as a single binary as the framework that I used (oclif) allows it. I was too lazy to publish it though.

The code is open-sourced please feel free to raise a PR. https://github.com/abhagsain/ai-cli

The other alternative is the top result for the Google search of that question.

It's not clear to me that this tool is a win over that method.
