Interactive Tool Picker (cf)

The cf command provides a fast, fuzzy-search picker for running tools interactively. Instead of remembering exact tool names, just type a few characters to filter and select.

# Launch the picker
cf

# Pipe input through the picker
cat document.txt | cf

# Chain pickers for interactive pipelines
cf | cf | cf

Controls:

Type - Fuzzy filter tools by name or description
↑/↓ - Navigate the list
Enter - Run the selected tool
Tab - Configure arguments before running (if tool has arguments)
Esc - Cancel

Interactive Pipelines

Chain cf commands to build pipelines on the fly: cat data.txt | cf | cf lets you pick a tool, then pick another tool to process its output. The picker UI is shown on stderr so it doesn't interfere with piped data.
