leetcrypt a699989088 feat(ai): make ai mode model-configurable + add --compare for A/B testing
Default the ai mode to qwen2.5-coder:1.5b instead of the hardcoded (and
uninstalled) westenfelder/NL2SH, which left ai mode broken. The model is now
configurable via SUPERMAN_AI_MODEL / --model, with markdown-fence stripping and
a coder-specific prompt wrapper so general coder models emit a single bare
one-liner. NL2SH still receives the raw query. Adds --compare to run multiple
models side by side (SUPERMAN_AI_COMPARE_MODELS) with timing for benchmarking.

# super-man
An interactive, fuzzy command + man-page flag browser for the terminal. Search
260+ commands, drill into any one to fuzzy-search its flags with live
descriptions, and jump back to the command list instantly.
## Demo
![super-man demo](demo/super-man-demo.gif)
Video (MP4): [`demo/super-man-demo.mp4`](demo/super-man-demo.mp4) ·
asciinema cast: [`demo/super-man-demo.cast`](demo/super-man-demo.cast)
The clip shows opening an entry (`grep`), browsing its flags, then pressing
**Esc** to return straight to the home screen — no intermediary step — and
repeating with `tar`.
## Usage
```bash
super-man # interactive home screen (fzf)
super-man <command> [filter] # jump straight to a command's flags
super-man -l, --list # list all known commands
super-man -h, --help # full help
# Natural-language modes (database-backed, needs jq)
super-man ask "find large files" # ask a question
super-man task "monitor cpu usage" # describe what you want to do
super-man category files # browse by category (files/text/network/system)
super-man explain "tar -czf" # explain what a command does
super-man ai "count lines in js files" # AI bash one-liner via local LLM (advanced)
```
### AI mode (local LLM via ollama)
`ai` generates a bash one-liner from plain English using a local [ollama](https://ollama.com)
model. The model is configurable, so you can A/B different local LLMs:
```bash
super-man ai "find python files modified last week" # default model
super-man ai --model qwen2.5:3b "count lines in all js files" # override model
super-man ai --compare "list the 5 largest files" # run several models side by side
```
| Env var | Purpose | Default |
|---------|---------|---------|
| `SUPERMAN_AI_MODEL` | Default model for `ai` | `qwen2.5-coder:1.5b` |
| `SUPERMAN_AI_COMPARE_MODELS` | Space-separated list for `--compare` | `qwen2.5-coder:1.5b westenfelder/NL2SH` |
General coder models (e.g. `qwen2.5-coder`) are prompt-wrapped to emit a single bare
command; the purpose-built `westenfelder/NL2SH` model receives the raw query. Pull
either with `ollama pull <model>`.
`Esc` in the flag browser returns to the command list; `Esc` on the home screen
exits.
**Requirements:** `jq` for the natural-language modes, `fzf` for interactive mode.
