One Input Box, Two AI Modes — Detecting Whether the User Wants Error Help or Command Explanation

One Input Box, Two AI Modes — Detecting Whether the User Wants Error Help or Command Explanation

Short summary

HiyokoHelper, an open-source terminal assistant, automatically detects whether users need error diagnosis or command explanation without mode selection, using pattern matching to route to appropriate prompts. The Rust implementation supports multi-language prompts (English/Japanese) and updates the interface in real-time as users type. Developers can directly adapt the pattern matching logic for their own CLI tools.

  • Detects intent automatically from terminal input using pattern matching on command prefixes
  • Routes to contextualized prompts without requiring users to select a mode
  • Multi-language support with real-time UI feedback

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
