cc shell

Manage cc's shell integration — the cc function, daemon auto-start, and prompt-segment helper that get written to your rc file.

Usage

cc shell                          # status (default)
cc shell status                   # check whether integration is installed
cc shell install                  # install/reinstall for current shell
cc shell install --shell fish     # force fish even if zsh is detected
cc shell install --force          # reinstall when already installed

Subcommands

Subcommand	Description
`status` (default)	Print whether integration is installed for the detected shell
`install`	Write the integration file + append source line to your rc file

Flags

Flag	Description
`--shell {zsh\|fish}`	Force a specific shell (auto-detected from parent process / `$SHELL` otherwise)
`-f`, `--force`	Reinstall even when integration is already in place

What it installs

Writes a small shell file (~/.cc-cli/shell/cc.zsh or ~/.cc-cli/shell/cc.fish) that defines:

cc shell function — wraps _cc_internal with a CC_RUN_FILE env var. Lets cc switch / cc cd / switch hooks change your shell's working directory and activate pyenv venvs by writing shell commands that get sourced in the parent shell.
Daemon auto-start — silently starts cc daemon if the socket isn't already up.
prompt_cc_env helper — a powerlevel10k segment showing the active environment name. Reads the active env directly from ~/.cc-cli/cc_cli.db for zero latency.

Then appends a source ~/.cc-cli/shell/cc.zsh line (or fish equivalent) to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.config/fish/config.fish.

After install

source ~/.zshrc                   # or source ~/.config/fish/config.fish

To pick up the function in the current terminal. New terminals get it automatically.

For zsh + powerlevel10k users:

# Add 'cc_env' to POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS in ~/.p10k.zsh

When to use this manually

cc setup and install.sh install shell integration automatically on first run. Use cc shell install standalone when:

Your dotfiles got reset and the source line is gone
You switched from zsh to fish (or vice versa)
The cc function stopped working and you want to reinstall fresh

cc setup — first-time wizard (includes shell integration as a step)
cc daemon — daemon lifecycle (auto-start lives in the shell integration)
