That’s exactly what this is though, it’s giving you the precise “incantation” you need based on what you’re trying to do. Like “list 20 biggest files in current directory”

well said that’s exactly the spirit of greppers — not trying to guess like an llm, just surfacing the ready-to-run incantations people keep re-googling.
huh? "list 20 biggest files in the current directory" is a search query, or a llm prompt input, it's not any kind of precise incantation.. ?

I mean if greppers is just translating queries like that to related command-calls, that's fine but bizarre and nothing that would require a community-contribution-based database of mappings, that's just a search engine and/or llm mapping problem...
