Interactive Shell

ProbOS provides a Rich-powered interactive shell with natural language input and 42 slash commands.

Natural Language

Just type what you want — ProbOS decomposes your request into an intent DAG and executes it:

probos> read /tmp/test.txt                   # File read
probos> list the files in /home/user/docs    # Directory listing
probos> write hello to /tmp/out.txt          # Consensus-verified write
probos> search for *.py in /home/user        # Recursive file search
probos> what just happened?                  # Introspection
probos> why did you use file_reader?         # Self-explanation
probos> how healthy is the system?           # System health assessment
