Shell Completion for CCS

Tab completion for CCS commands, subcommands, profiles, and flags.

Supported Shells: Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell

Features

  • Complete profile names (both settings-based and account-based)
  • Complete ccs auth subcommands (create, list, show, remove, default)
  • Complete flags (--help, --version, --json, --verbose, --yes)
  • Complete profile names for auth subcommands
  • Context-aware: suggests relevant options based on current command
ccs --shell-completion

This will:

  • Auto-detect your shell
  • Copy completion files to ~/.ccs/completions/
  • Configure your shell profile with proper comment markers
  • Show instructions to activate

Manual shell selection:

ccs --shell-completion --bash        # Force bash
ccs --shell-completion --zsh         # Force zsh
ccs --shell-completion --fish        # Force fish
ccs --shell-completion --powershell  # Force PowerShell

Manual Installation

Completion files are installed to ~/.ccs/completions/ during npm install.

Bash

Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:

# CCS shell completion
source ~/.ccs/completions/ccs.bash

Then reload:

source ~/.bashrc

Zsh

  1. Create completion directory:

    mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
    
  2. Copy completion file:

    cp ~/.ccs/completions/ccs.zsh ~/.zsh/completion/_ccs
    
  3. Add to ~/.zshrc:

    # CCS shell completion
    fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)
    autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
    
  4. Reload:

    source ~/.zshrc
    

PowerShell

Add to your PowerShell profile ($PROFILE):

# CCS shell completion
. "$HOME\.ccs\completions\ccs.ps1"

Then reload:

. $PROFILE

Fish

User installation (recommended)

Fish automatically loads completions from ~/.config/fish/completions/:

# Create completion directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions

# Copy completion script
cp scripts/completion/ccs.fish ~/.config/fish/completions/

That's it! Fish will automatically load the completion on demand. No need to source or reload.

System-wide installation (requires sudo)

sudo cp scripts/completion/ccs.fish /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/

Usage Examples

Basic Completion

$ ccs <TAB>
auth      doctor    glm       glmt      kimi      work      personal  --help    --version

$ ccs auth <TAB>
create    list      show      remove    default   --help

Profile Completion

$ ccs auth show <TAB>
work      personal  team      --json

$ ccs auth remove <TAB>
work      personal  team      --yes     -y

Flag Completion

$ ccs auth list <TAB>
--verbose --json

$ ccs auth show work <TAB>
--json

Completion Behavior

Top-level (after ccs)

  • Built-in commands: auth, doctor
  • Flags: --help, --version, -h, -v
  • Settings-based profiles: from ~/.ccs/config.json
  • Account-based profiles: from ~/.ccs/profiles.json

After ccs auth

  • Subcommands: create, list, show, remove, default
  • Flags: --help, -h

After ccs auth <subcommand>

  • create: No completion (user enters new profile name)
    • Flags: --force
  • list: No profile completion
    • Flags: --verbose, --json
  • show: Account profiles only
    • Flags: --json
  • remove: Account profiles only
    • Flags: --yes, -y
  • default: Account profiles only

After ccs <profile>

  • No completion (Claude CLI arguments are free-form)

Troubleshooting

Bash: Completion not working

  1. Check if bash-completion is installed:

    # macOS
    brew install bash-completion
    
    # Ubuntu/Debian
    sudo apt install bash-completion
    
  2. Verify jq is installed (required for profile completion):

    command -v jq
    
  3. Check if completion is loaded:

    complete -p ccs
    

    Should output:

    complete -F _ccs_completion ccs
    

Zsh: Completion not working

  1. Verify completion system is enabled in ~/.zshrc:

    autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
    
  2. Check if completion is loaded:

    which _ccs
    
  3. Rebuild completion cache:

    rm ~/.zcompdump && compinit
    

PowerShell: Completion not working

  1. Check PowerShell version (5.1+ required):

    $PSVersionTable.PSVersion
    
  2. Verify profile is loaded:

    Test-Path $PROFILE
    
  3. Check if completion is registered:

    (Get-ArgumentCompleter).CommandName | Select-String ccs
    

Fish: Completion not working

  1. Check Fish version (3.0+ required):

    fish --version
    
  2. Verify completion file is in the right location:

    ls ~/.config/fish/completions/ccs.fish
    
  3. Verify jq is installed (required for profile completion):

    which jq
    
  4. Test completion manually:

    complete -C'ccs '
    
  5. If needed, rebuild completions:

    fish_update_completions

  • Context-aware based on COMP_CWORD and COMP_WORDS

Zsh Implementation

  • Uses _arguments and _describe for rich completion
  • Compatible with zsh 5.0+
  • Supports completion descriptions
  • Context-aware using $state and $words

PowerShell Implementation

  • Uses Register-ArgumentCompleter
  • Compatible with PowerShell 5.1+
  • Reads profiles dynamically using ConvertFrom-Json
  • Provides CompletionResult objects

Fish Implementation

  • Uses declarative complete command
  • Compatible with Fish 3.0+
  • Automatic loading from ~/.config/fish/completions/

Contributing

When adding new commands or flags:

  1. Update all four completion scripts (bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell)
  2. Test on each shell
  3. Update this README with new completion examples
  4. Maintain cross-shell parity
