Autocomplete

This project is a shell autocomplete engine and completion provider that adds real-time suggestions for command line interface options and arguments within a terminal. It functions as a declarative completion framework, allowing command hierarchies and option sets to be defined via structured data instead of manual shell scripts.

The system acts as a cross-shell completion bridge, translating a single unified definition into commands compatible with multiple different shell environments. This ensures a consistent autocomplete experience across various terminals using a shared specification format.

The engine handles the parsing and resolution of JSON-based specifications to determine valid subcommands and flags based on cursor position. It utilizes shell-integrated hooks to intercept terminal input and apply dynamic filtering to provide hints as the user types.
