Rename bash-helper.sh -> super-man.sh and update all docs/tests to the super-man name and alias. In interactive mode, pressing Esc in the flag browser now returns directly to the home menu, removing the intermediary "Press Enter to search another command" prompt.

Your Intelligent CLI Assistant for Bash
QUICK START
super-man ask "find large files" # Ask a question
super-man category files # Browse by category
super-man explain "tar -czf" # Explain a command
MODES
Natural Language Queries:
ask "query" Ask in natural language
task "description" Describe what you want to do
Browse & Explore:
category NAME Browse by category (files/text/network/system)
explain "command" Explain what a command does
Direct Lookup:
COMMAND [FILTER] Show flags for command (e.g., ls size)
-i, --interactive Interactive fzf mode
-l, --list List all commands
...
2. Natural Language Queries
Query: "find large files"
$ super-man ask "find large files"
Output:
Searching for: "find large files"
Found 5 matches:
1. Find files larger than 100MB
find . -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \;
2. Find files by name pattern
find . -name "*.txt"
3. Find duplicate files by content
find . -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort | uniq -w32 -dD
4. List files sorted by size (largest first)
ls -lhS
5. Find and replace text in files
sed -i 's/old/new/g' file.txt
Tip: Use more specific keywords to narrow results
Query: "symlink" (Single Result - Full Details)
$ super-man ask "symlink"
Output:
Searching for: "symlink"
