Answers and your prompt

Answers stream in as the model writes them, inside a box that says who answered:

╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
╞═ 🐧 TuxAide (Ollama · qwen2.5-coder:7b) ═╡
  To find files bigger than 100MB in the current folder, use find:

  ┄ sh ┄
  [1] find . -type f -size +100M
  ┄┄┄┄┄┄

╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

  1 put on prompt · c copy · Enter skip

The header shows the model and, when they apply, Smart RAG (answered from your man pages), follow-up, or ☁ remote · host (the answer came from another computer — see remote backends).

Put a command on your prompt

Commands in shell code blocks are numbered (up to 9). After the answer:

Key	What happens
1–9	That command goes on your prompt. zsh: it's there, ready to edit. bash: press ↑ once (bash can't pre-fill the prompt from a hook).
c	Copies the command (pbcopy, wl-copy, xclip, xsel, or OSC 52 through SSH)
Enter, or wait 15 s	Nothing

TuxAide never runs the command: you read it and press Enter yourself.

Destructive commands

Commands that can destroy data — rm -rf, dd, mkfs, shred, find … -delete, find … -exec rm, xargs rm, DROP TABLE… — get a red warning above their code block, and choosing one asks y/N before it goes on your prompt.

Turn the menu off

tuxaide config set action_menu false

Cached answers

A question asked before (with the same model, mode and system) is answered from a local cache instantly. Cached answers expire after 30 days (cache_ttl_days); tuxaide cache clear empties the cache. Errors and partial answers are never cached.
