Reviewer scorecard
“Fast, reliable, and the docs are actually good. Ship.”
“Autocomplete for CLI commands is surprisingly useful. Reduces trips to man pages and --help flags.”
“This is the kind of tool that makes you wonder how you worked without it.”
“Simple tool that genuinely improves terminal productivity. The acquisition by Amazon expanded support.”
“Will likely be absorbed into broader Amazon Q developer tools. Standalone terminal autocomplete may not survive.”
