Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when using intelligent command-line automation.
Common Issues
AI Command Interpretation Issues
Natural language commands not being interpreted correctly
- Provide more specific context in your natural language commands
- Use the --explain flag to understand how commands are interpreted
- Train the AI with feedback on successful and unsuccessful interpretations
- Check that your working directory context is correctly detected
Shell Integration Problems
Smart completion or shell integration not working properly
- Reinstall shell integration with: aether shell-init --shell your_shell
- Restart your terminal or source your shell configuration file
- Check that your shell is supported (bash, zsh, fish, powershell)
- Verify that completion scripts have proper permissions
Learning and Context Issues
AI not learning from usage patterns or providing poor suggestions
- Enable learning mode and provide regular feedback on suggestions
- Ensure sufficient command history for pattern recognition
- Use consistent working directories for better context awareness
- Adjust learning sensitivity in configuration settings
