Shell Superpowers for AI Agents
X-CMD (pronounced as "X Command") is a modern toolkit for POSIX shell (bash, zsh, ash, dash) — designed to make shell as powerful as Python's standard library.
With just shell + curl, access OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Zhipu, MiniMax.
Our pure-shell agent — under 2MB — delivers capabilities comparable to OpenClaw and Claude Code.
Optimized for Agents — After 5 years, we discovered shell's sweet spot: AI agents.
Where network latency and LLM throughput dominate, shell's flexibility, native system integration, and tool-chaining shine.
