Feature: Natural Language Command Search #58

Description

@mgd43b

Overview

Natural language queries to search command history.

Problem

Users remember what they wanted to do, not the exact command syntax.

Proposed Solution

Natural language interface:

  • "Show me how I deployed last Tuesday"
  • "What did I do to fix the database issue?"
  • Convert natural language to SQL/search queries
  • Optional AI integration (local LLM or API)

Examples

$ sdbh ask "show me how I deployed last Tuesday"

Found 12 commands from 2026-01-16:
1. git pull origin main
2. cargo build --release
3. ./scripts/deploy.sh --env prod
4. kubectl rollout status deployment/app
...

$ sdbh ask "what did I do when I fixed the database connection issue?"

Found session from 2026-01-15 14:30-16:45:
Tagged: "database-connection-fix"
1. systemctl status postgresql
2. sudo vi /etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf
3. sudo systemctl restart postgresql
4. psql -h localhost -U app -d production -c "SELECT 1"
...

Technical Considerations

  • NLP parsing
  • Intent recognition
  • Query generation
  • Integration with sessions, tags
  • Optional: local LLM (llama.cpp) or API (OpenAI)

Priority

Low - Advanced/experimental
