TERMy - Deterministic terminal assistant without LLMs
Show HN: TERMy – A fast terminal assistant that does not use LLMs
TERMy is a fast, deterministic terminal assistant that operates without LLMs, using a rule-based parser and a flexible dataset format (NDF) to understand and execute commands. It offers instant responses, runs on low-end hardware, and integrates with tools like Copilot. Built on NPC-Forge, it provides a lightweight, transparent, and cost-effective alternative for common terminal tasks.
It is not an LLM but it gets the job done and it is instantaneous!

what I would love to see along those lines is something that can answer "what packages do I have installed to do task $foo"; I keep installing things that I use for one thing and then forget about when I need to do the same task some months or years later.

Very interesting project, I like it. Just wanted to clarify though the sentiment analysis is just the count of stripped words and used to tag things with the emoji? I was initially expecting it to be a part of the actual command construction process (even though I couldn't figure out how that would be relevant) given how it was listed.

This is a cool project; I think it's wonderful that traditional NLP methods are being used, rather than reaching straight for an LLM.
One significant advantage of not using a local LLM is the significantly simplified dependency stack.

If you could get Termy to code, you'd be a rich man
