 # isuckatbash.zsh — press Esc-; to ask GPT for shell help
 #
 # Description:
 #   Sends your current zsh command line (BUFFER) to OpenAI's API and replaces it
 #   with a suggested command plus a short explanation.
 #
 # Usage:
 #   1. Add this snippet to ~/.zshrc
 #   2. Set your OpenAI key env OPENAI_API_KEY
 #   3. Type a goal or partial command, then press Esc-; (macos)
 #
 # Example:
 #   $ list jpg files recurs   ← then press [ESC]+[;]
 #   thinking...
 #   List all .jpg files recursively from current directory.
 #   > find . -type f -iname '*.jpeg' # also matches .jpeg
 #   > find . -type f \( -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.jpeg' \) # both .jpg and .jpeg
 #   $ find . -type f -iname "*.jpg"    ← ready to edit or run
