I know there are two polarized camps on the topic of AI coding. Even for people who are concerned about it and prefer to use traditional scripting, there are some benefits worth considering in having runnable, composable prompt modules.

There are some tasks that are challenging to achieve with traditional code, but where modern LLMs perform strongly.

Examples include summarization, complex content formatting and restructuring, natural language classification, and evaluation judgements.

I’ve found that it is useful to be able to easily incorporate these along with traditional Shell scripts and command line tools as part of workflow pipelines. And I hope it can be useful for other people too.

Certainly LLM AI is good for something but I don't think your shell script installer is the right place for it.

Imagine a world where you go to install some software and instead get goatse wall paper because 4chan poisoned the llm.

Imagine a world where you need a $200/month Claude XP Pro subscription to download and install a tarball.
