01Run it

Replace the <placeholders> with your own values, or use the builder below.

p202 completion zsh

02What you get

Pick the shape you need. People get a table. Add --json, --csv or --ndjson for scripts, or -q for ids only. An AI agent gets compact JSON without asking. All output formats

03Build your command

Pick values and the command line writes itself, quoted and ready to paste.

p202 completion zsh

Set flags below; the command updates as you type.

04Flags

05How it works

Generate the autocompletion script for the zsh shell.

If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment you will need to enable it. You can execute the following once:

echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc

To load completions in your current shell session:

source <(p202 completion zsh)

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

#### Linux:

p202 completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_p202"

#### macOS:

p202 completion zsh > $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_p202

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

06For agents

Running this from an agent

  • Read the same facts as JSON: p202 commands completion zsh --json.
  • With AI_AGENT, CLAUDECODE or another agent variable set, output is compact JSON and errors arrive on stderr as a JSON envelope with a hint.
  • Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 bad input, 2 auth, 3 network, 4 server error, 5 partial failure.
