completion-generators

zsh-completion-generators is a ZSH plugin that solves the problem of manually managing shell completions for various command-line tools. It maintains a table of known tools and their corresponding completion generation commands, automatically creating completion files for installed tools on every shell load.

Key Features

• Automatic Detection — Filters tools based on what's installed in your $PATH and hasn't already been processed.
• Cached Completions — Generates completion files once and caches them for fast subsequent shell loads.
• Automatic Regeneration — Detects when tools are upgraded and regenerates completions on next shell load.
• Custom Tool Support — Allows adding custom tool definitions via a user-local CSV file without modifying the plugin.
• Plugin Manager Compatibility — Follows oh-my-zsh plugin conventions and works with most ZSH plugin managers.

Philosophy

The plugin takes a minimalist approach by leveraging each tool's built-in completion generation capabilities rather than maintaining its own completion scripts, ensuring compatibility and reducing maintenance burden.
