websh

Installation

Summary

Unix-style shell commands for navigating and querying web pages as a filesystem.

Navigate URLs with cd, list links with ls, extract content with cat, and filter with grep—all operating on cached page content locally and instantly
Supports natural language inference: commands like "show me the first 5 links" or "what forms are on this page?" are automatically interpreted without formal syntax
Asynchronous architecture with background prefetching: user gets their prompt back immediately while fetches and eager crawling of linked pages happen in the background
Full command routing including follow for link navigation, back for history, stat for metadata, and refresh to re-fetch—see commands.md for complete reference
