CLI should support "Shell mode" to explicitly invoke input as shell command #12

Closed

Description

@RyanHecht

Sometimes, you know exactly the command you want to run, and you don't want to waste a model turn to generate the command. A "Shell mode" would allow the CLI to interpret a user's prompt as an explicit shell command to accomplish this.

The convention appears to be !, I suggest we use this for indicating shell mode

    for me the main use for this would be so that the command and its output is passed to the model. otherwise i would just use terminal tabs or tmux
