Describe what you need, HumanSH writes the command directly into your terminal for review — no chatbot tab, no copy-paste, no lost flow.

Atuin already solves that very well for me, although I might consider this for new commands

Not that this isn't great or anything, but this repo could almost be a single a file. E.g. this is what I have in `/usr/local/bin/howdoi`...

```

#!/bin/bash

query="$*"

prompt="Briefly, (in one line or two maximum) tell me: how do I $query"

echo $''

ollama run gemma3 --nowordwrap "$prompt"

```
