ccline: type natural language at your zsh prompt — AI answers without leaving terminal

[jianshuo]

Hi tmux users! 👋

If you're using tmux, you're committed to working in the terminal. I built something that fits naturally into that workflow.

It's ccline — AI at the zsh prompt, no extra tools needed.

What it does

ccline hijacks zsh's command_not_found_handler. When you type something that isn't a real command — plain English, a description, a question — it asks Claude AI and renders the Markdown answer right in your terminal. Press Enter to run any suggested command.

$ split tmux window into 3 equal vertical panes
→ tmux split-window -h && tmux split-window -h && tmux select-layout even-horizontal
→ [press Enter to run]

$ send same command to all panes
→ tmux set-window-option synchronize-panes on
→ [press Enter to run]

$ save current tmux session layout
→ tmux display-message -p "#{session_name}" && tmux list-windows
→ [press Enter to run]

Without window-switching, without a browser, without leaving your tmux workflow.
