🐚 Meet MSHELL — a next-generation Unix shell for AI-assisted development and mathematics by Art2Dec SoftLab. A single C binary that replaces bash as your login shell — adding native LLM integration, polyglot code execution, and a complete Workflow engine without sacrificing standard shell compatibility.
⚡ Shell & Scripting:
✅ Bash compatibility — pipes, redirections, standard Unix commands work as-is
✅ Native .ms scripts (#!/bin/mshell) — variables, IF/FOR/WHILE/FUNC, full control flow with AST-based parser
✅ Embedded Lua engine — inline math: arithmetic, trigonometry, statistics, calculus, matrix and vector operations, all via eval
✅ pythonexec — execute Python code inline, one-liners or multi-statement
✅ Native execution of C, C++, Go, Rust, Python, Lua, Bash — compiled and run on demand
🤖 AI Integration — Different AI Models Simultaneously:
✅ ollamaN — chat mode: conversational LLM with 200 message pairs persistent context per model
✅ ollamaNexec — exec mode: generate and automatically execute code, bash scripts, Python — no manual steps
✅ -url= / url= option — fetch any web page and pass to LLM in one command
✅ PDF, DOCX, XLSX, DjVu — auto-extracted and included in LLM context when referenced by filename
✅ urlcache — 50-slot web page cache: load, view, refresh, merge slots for multi-source analysis
✅ Pipe mode (-p) — chain LLM output into standard Unix pipes
✅ Image analysis — image=path.png sends image directly to multimodal LLM
✅ Vendors: Ollama (hundreds of local & cloud models), Claude, OpenAI, Gemini
📊 Visualization — Live GUI from CLI:
✅ ollamaNexec commands generate and runs matplotlib, plotly, seaborn and other frameworks code on the fly — chart opens as real GUI window instantly
📄 mshell Workflow:
✅ Plain Markdown (.md) files as executable polyglot pipelines — documentation and code in one file
✅ 8 languages per pipeline — bash, python, c, cpp, rust, go, lua, mshell — each block auto compiled and run
✅ Inter-language variable system (Interlang) — named variables flow between any language blocks via MSH_VAR_* files
✅ LLM directives inline (<!–@1–>) — up to 3 models as pipeline stages, async parallel execution
✅ Full control flow: WHILE, FOREACH, LOOP, TRY/CATCH, SPLIT/MERGE, IF/routing
✅ Generative → Materialized: LLM-driven workflows captured into deterministic, LLM-free production artifacts
🔧 Built-in GUI Apps:
✅ edi — visual Workflow and languages editor
✅ mshell Studio — Library Manager (per-language compilation profiles) + Knowledge Base/Validator (error pattern learning, auto-fix)
