Post Description

I built Aish because I wanted a shell that could help with troubleshooting and routine ops work without changing normal terminal usage.

Regular commands still work as usual. On top of that, Aish can use live terminal output to help reason about errors, assist with multi-step tasks, and reduce the need to copy terminal output into another tool.

It’s still early, but I’d love feedback on whether this feels useful in real shell workflows.
