OpenAutoComplete Spec
A shell-agnostic, declarative specification for CLI autocomplete that works across bash, zsh, fish, and PowerShell.
What is OpenAutoComplete Spec?
OpenAutoComplete is a shell-agnostic, declarative specification for CLI autocomplete that allows application developers to define autocompletion once in JSON format, instead of writing separate scripts for each shell like bash, zsh, fish, and PowerShell. It solves the problem of fragmented autocomplete implementations by providing a standardized approach that works across different shells.
CLI application developers who need to provide autocomplete functionality across multiple shells without maintaining separate scripts for each.
Developers choose OpenAutoComplete because it reduces the complexity of autocomplete implementation with a single, declarative JSON specification that is easy to parse and maintain, ensuring compatibility with existing tools and future extensibility.
