Overview
About This Skill
Shell Now is a lightweight Go CLI that turns your local terminal into a publicly accessible web shell in seconds using ttyd and Cloudflare Quick Tunnels. It automatically downloads and configures all dependencies across platforms, eliminating setup friction. The tool supports optional password authentication and can run any shell or custom command like htop or bash. Ideal for developers needing quick remote debugging, educators delivering live Linux demos, and teams sharing terminal sessions without complex infrastructure. Simply run one command to get a shareable public URL.
How to Use
Install via Homebrew (brew tap strrl/collective && brew install shell-now), Docker, or direct download. Run shell-now to launch a web terminal with an auto-generated public URL. Optionally set a password for authentication. Share the URL with others to grant browser-based terminal access.
Use Cases
Live debugging: demonstrate terminal issues to teammates in real time
Remote education: teach Linux or DevOps concepts via browser in live sessions
CLI tool demos: share terminal-based application walkthroughs
Remote device access: connect to Pi or NAS without configuring public IP

Usage Examples
Prompt Template
I want to share my terminal session with you. Here's the command I'm running: [COMMAND]. Can you help me troubleshoot or optimize it?
Example Output
# Terminal Session Analysis ## Current Command ```bash [COMMAND] ``` ## Analysis - The command appears to be processing [DATA_TYPE] data from [SOURCE] - Potential optimization: Consider adding `--parallel` flag to speed up processing - Memory usage could be reduced by adding `--limit [MEMORY_LIMIT]` ## Recommendations 1. Try running with these optimizations: ```bash [COMMAND] --parallel --limit 2G ``` 2. Monitor memory usage with `htop` during execution 3. Consider breaking large datasets into smaller chunks for processing
