Autocomplete for CLI commands is surprisingly useful. Reduces trips to man pages and --help flags.

Reality Check

Simple tool that genuinely improves terminal productivity. The acquisition by Amazon expanded support.

Big Picture

Will likely be absorbed into broader Amazon Q developer tools. Standalone terminal autocomplete may not survive.

Loved Fig before Amazon acquired it, the rebranding to CodeWhisperer CLI killed the community vibe

RIP Fig as an indie product, hoping Amazon doesnt fully absorb the soul of what made it great

Terminal autocomplete that actually understands your custom scripts and aliases is a must-have
