Example:

jq -s . search.json > temp.json; mv temp.json search.json
Execute? [n]: 

Wonder if you get better results if the prompt starts with:

PROMPT="You are the best at writing shell commands. The output to uname -a is ${uname -a}. [...]"

I wonder if, for example, it could correctly provide different arguments for linux/bsd variants of commands.

Got it. Let me see what the best way to do that would be.

Hi, this is amazing, thank you!

small improvement that makes a big difference for me in the last few lines:

read -rp "Execute? [y/c(opy)]: " input_var
input_var=${input_var:-y}
[ "$input_var" = "y" ] && bash -c "$RESULT"
[ "$input_var" = "c" ] && echo "$RESULT" | pbcopy

If the output is close, but not quite right you can copy to the clipboard and edit it by responding with c.

Added.
