Proton-T is a Rust-based directory navigation CLI that intelligently replaces repetitive `cd` commands with smart jumping powered by Frecency and Intent matching algorithms that learn your workflow. It automatically detects workspace projects and works seamlessly across Bash, Zsh, Fish, and PowerShell. The open-source tool is available on GitHub.

  • Intelligent directory jumping with Frecency (frequency + recency) and Intent matching algorithms
  • Automatic workspace detection and project-aware navigation across multiple shells
  • Open-source Rust tool on GitHub; entirely self-promotional post
