Codex CLI - Natural Language Command Line Interface This project uses GPT-3 Codex to convert natural language commands into commands in PowerShell, Z shell and Bash. The Command Line Interface (CLI) was the first major User Interface we used to interact with machines. It's incredibly powerful, you can do almost anything with a CLI, but it requires the user to express their intent extremely precisely. The user needs to know the language of the computer. With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly those that have been trained on code, it's possible to interact with a CLI using Natural Language (NL). In effect, these models understand natural language and code well enough that they can translate from one to another. This project aims to offer a cross-shell NL-Code experience to allow users to interact with their favorite CLI using NL. The user enters a command, like "what's my IP address", hits and gets a suggestion for a command idiomatic to the shell they're using. The project uses the GPT-3 Codex model off-the-shelf, meaning the model has not been explicitly trained for the task.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
