## Overview

X-CMD is a shell toolkit that exposes modules through `x <module>` and packages through `x <tool>` or `x env use <tool>`. Its shell and awk modules cover system commands, file operations, Git hooks, completions, and shell themes. The package system downloads CLI tools such as jq, fzf, and ripgrep on demand.

The core runs in POSIX shells including bash, zsh, ash, and dash. Modules such as `x openai`, `x gemini`, and `x deepseek` provide terminal access to AI services alongside the system utilities. X-CMD suits developers and administrators who want a common command interface for shell tasks and portable tools across environments.

### Installation

```bash
# via Shell script
eval "$(curl https://get.x-cmd.com)"
```
