A powerful ZSH plugin that provides intelligent command transformation, file tagging, and conversation management for the Forge AI assistant.
- Smart Command Transformation: Convert
:commandsyntax into forge executions - Agent Selection: Tab completion for available agents using
:agent_name - File Tagging: Interactive file selection with
@[filename]syntax - Syntax Highlighting: Visual feedback for commands and tagged files
- Conversation Continuity: Automatic session management across commands
- Interactive Completion: Fuzzy finding for files and agents
Before using this plugin, ensure you have the following tools installed:
- fzf - Command-line fuzzy finder
- fd - Fast file finder (alternative to find)
- forge - The Forge CLI tool
# macOS (using Homebrew)
brew install fzf fd
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install fzf fd-find
# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S fzf fdBegin any command with : followed by your prompt:
: Get the current timeThis automatically starts a new conversation with the default Forge agent.
Specify an agent by name after the colon:
:sage How does caching work in this system?
:muse Create a deployment strategy for my appTab Completion: Type : followed by partial agent name and press TAB for interactive selection.
Tag files in your commands using the @[filename] syntax:
: Review this code @[src/main.rs]
: Explain the configuration in @[config.yaml]Interactive Selection: Type @ and press TAB to search and select files interactively using fuzzy finder.
Commands within the same session maintain context:
# First command
: My project uses React and TypeScript
# Second command (remembers previous context)
: How can I optimize the build process?The plugin automatically manages conversation IDs to maintain context across related commands.
Shell commands should follow the Object-Action format.
Examples:
:provider-login:sync-status
For backward compatibility, :login remains available as an alias for :provider-login.
Clear the current conversation context and start fresh:
:new
# or use the alias
:nThis will:
- Clear the current conversation ID
- Show the banner with helpful information
- Reset the session state
- Display a confirmation message with timestamp
View system and project information:
:info
# or use the alias
:iThis displays:
-
System information
-
Project details
-
Current configuration
-
Current configuration
Browse and switch between conversations interactively:
:conversation
# or use the alias
:cThis will display an interactive list of all conversations with preview, allowing you to select and switch.
Switch to a specific conversation by ID:
:conversation <conversation_id>Toggle between current and previous conversation (like cd -):
:conversation -
# or
:c -The plugin remembers your previous conversation, allowing you to quickly toggle back and forth. This works just like cd - in your shell, and also works with :new - when you start a new conversation, you can toggle back to your previous one.
If there's no previous conversation tracked (e.g., first time using the plugin), :c - will show the conversation list popup, allowing you to select a conversation.
This is useful when:
- You need to temporarily check another conversation and come back
- You're comparing or referencing information between two conversations
- You want to quickly switch context between related tasks
- You started a new conversation but want to reference the previous one
Create a copy of an existing conversation with interactive selection:
:cloneThis will:
- Display an interactive list of all conversations with preview
- Allow you to select a conversation to clone
- Create a new conversation with the same content
- Automatically switch to the cloned conversation
- Show the cloned conversation content and details
You can also clone a specific conversation by providing its ID:
:clone <conversation_id>This is useful when you want to:
- Create a backup before making significant changes
- Start a new conversation branch from an existing context
- Experiment with different approaches while preserving the original
The plugin automatically displays session information including:
- Conversation ID when starting new sessions
- Active agent information
- New session confirmations with timestamps
The plugin provides visual feedback through syntax highlighting:
- Tagged Files (
@[filename]): Displayed in green bold - Agent Commands (
:agent): Agent names in yellow bold - Command Text: Remaining text in white bold
Customize the plugin behavior by setting these variables before loading the plugin:
# Custom forge binary location
export FORGE_BIN="/path/to/custom/forge"FORGE_BIN: Path to the forge executable (default:forge)FORGE_EDITOR: Editor command to use for:editcommand (default:$EDITORornano)FORGE_SYNC_ENABLED: Enable/disable automatic workspace sync (default:true)FORGE_MAX_COMMIT_DIFF: Maximum diff size for commit message generation in bytes (default:100000)FORGE_SKIP_INTERACTIVE: Skip interactive prompts (internal use)FORGE_CURRENCY_SYMBOL: Currency symbol for cost display in ZSH theme (default:"$")FORGE_CURRENCY_CONVERSION_RATE: Conversion rate for currency display (default:1.0)NERD_FONT: Enable Nerd Font icons in ZSH theme (default: auto-detected, set to"1"or"true"to enable,"0"or"false"to disable)USE_NERD_FONT: Alternative variable for enabling Nerd Font icons (same behavior asNERD_FONT)- Internal pattern matching for conversation syntax (
:) - New session command keyword:
:newor:n
Sync your codebase for semantic search:
:syncThis will index the current directory for semantic code search.
Run comprehensive environment diagnostics to check your Forge setup:
:doctorThis will check:
- ZSH version and terminal information
- Forge installation and version
- Plugin and theme loading status
- Completions availability
- Dependencies (fzf, fd, bat)
- ZSH plugins (autosuggestions, syntax-highlighting)
- Editor configuration and PATH setup
- Nerd Font support for icons
The plugin creates a .forge directory in your current working directory (similar to .git) for temporary files:
FORGE_EDITMSG.md: Temporary file used when opening an external editor with:edit
All transformed commands are properly saved to ZSH history, allowing you to:
- Navigate command history with arrow keys
- Search previous forge commands with
Ctrl+R - Reuse complex commands with file tags
- Tab: Interactive completion for files (
@) and agents (:) - Enter: Transform and execute
:commands - Ctrl+C: Interrupt running forge commands
