I want a program that spots shell commands I often run together and suggests a single automated command to replace the sequence
The author wants a tool that watches shell history for commands commonly used in sequence and recommends ways to automate them. Their naive example turns git add, git commit with a message, and git push into one command that takes the message as an argument. The suggestions should be intelligent, not just simple aliases.

History Sequence Miner
Paste or drop your shell history. The tool finds repeated command sequences, works out which parts change each time (commit messages, branches, paths) and turns those into arguments. It then writes a function like gacp "msg" for bash/zsh, fish or PowerShell, or a plain alias when nothing varies. It skips commands that contain secrets and holds back risky chains such as reset --hard or rm -rf until you allow them. Matching is based on patterns, so check each generated command before you install it.
