gvShell Feature Ideas - Offline Mode & Beyond
Expanded feature set for gvShell when working offline with local providers
Output
🐚 gvShell Feature Ideas
What can you do in the shell when greatVibe.ai is offline?
📦 Your Ideas (Great Starting Points!)
| ✓ | /provider — Configure and switch between providers |
| ✓ | /project — Start/manage projects with working directory context |
| ✓ | /pipe — Copy response from Claude → ChatGPT (cross-provider piping) |
| ✓ | /save — Output prompts/responses to disk as files |
💡 Extended Feature Ideas
1. Multi-Provider Workflows
gv> /provider claude gv> Write a React component for a login form [Claude responds with code] gv> /pipe gpt-4 "Review this code for security issues" [GPT-4 reviews Claude's output] gv> /pipe gemini "Now optimize for performance" [Gemini refines further] gv> /diff 1 3 # Show diff between response 1 and 3
2. Response as Files ("AI Filesystem")
gv> Write a Python script to parse CSV [Response stored as $1] gv> /save $1 ./scripts/parse_csv.py ✓ Saved to ./scripts/parse_csv.py gv> /cat $1 # View response gv> /edit $1 # Open in $EDITOR gv> /run $1 # Execute the code gv> /append $1 $2 # Combine responses gv> /export session.md # Export full session as markdown
3. Project Context Management
gv> /project new my-app ✓ Created project: my-app ✓ Working dir: ~/projects/my-app gv> /project context add ./src/**/*.ts ✓ Added 47 files to context gv> /project context show Context: 47 files, ~12k tokens gv> /project switch other-project gv> /project list
4. Session & History
gv> /session save "auth-feature-work" gv> /session list gv> /session resume auth-feature-work gv> /session fork # Branch current session gv> /history # Show all prompts gv> /history search "auth" # Search past prompts gv> /replay 5 # Re-run prompt #5
5. Templates & Snippets
gv> /template save "code-review" "Review this code for:\n- Security\n- Performance\n- Readability" gv> /template use code-review [Prompt prefilled, cursor at end] gv> /template list gv> /template share code-review # Upload to greatVibe.ai
6. Comparison & Analysis
gv> /compare claude gpt-4 gemini "Explain monads" [Runs same prompt on 3 providers, shows side-by-side] gv> /benchmark "Write fizzbuzz" --runs=5 [Times each provider, shows latency/token stats] gv> /cost Session cost: $0.42 (Claude: $0.35, GPT-4: $0.07)
7. Unix Philosophy Integration
gv> !cat error.log | /ask "What's wrong?" [Pipes shell output into AI prompt] gv> /ask "List 10 test cases" | !tee tests.md [Pipes AI output to shell command] gv> !git diff | /ask "Write commit message" gv> !docker logs app | /ask "Find the error"
8. Batch & Scripting
# gvscript.gv /provider claude /project context add ./src "Analyze this codebase and create a README" /save $1 README.md "Now write unit tests for the main module" /save $2 tests/main.test.ts $ gvagent run gvscript.gv [Executes batch script non-interactively]
9. Local Model Management
gv> /ollama list llama3:8b, codellama:13b, mistral:7b gv> /ollama pull deepseek-coder:6.7b gv> /provider ollama/deepseek-coder gv> /provider status Active: ollama/deepseek-coder (local, 6.7B params) GPU: RTX 4090, VRAM: 8.2GB/24GB
10. Collaboration (when online)
gv> /share session ✓ Session shared: https://greatvibe.ai/s/abc123 gv> /team invite bob@example.com gv> /sync # Sync templates/sessions to cloud
📋 Command Reference Summary
| Category | Commands |
|---|---|
| Providers | /provider, /compare, /benchmark, /ollama |
| Projects | /project, /context |
| Responses | /save, /cat, /edit, /run, /diff, /pipe |
| Sessions | /session, /history, /replay, /export |
| Templates | /template |
| Shell | !cmd, | pipes, /ask |
| Meta | /help, /status, /cost, /config, /quit |
🎯 The Big Idea
gvShell becomes a Unix-philosophy AI environment: responses are files, providers are interchangeable, everything pipes together, and it works offline with local models. It's bash meets ipython meets AI.
