Simon Willison demonstrates how to use LLM (Large Language Model) in script shebang lines, enabling direct execution of natural language commands as scripts. The article shows examples ranging from simple text generation to complex tool integration, including YAML templates with custom Python functions and Datasette SQL API queries. This approach blurs the line between natural language and executable code, offering new possibilities for script automation.
Background
Shebang lines in Unix-like systems specify the interpreter for script files, traditionally pointing to programming language interpreters like Python or Bash. The integration of LLMs into shebang lines represents an innovative approach to script execution using natural language.
