Projects Already Doing Something Like Shellac

Back: Shell Autocompletion / Shellac Protocol Proposal

• https://github.com/szermatt/emacs-bash-completion

• A wrapper around bash completion to export completion to zsh: https://github.com/curusarn/bash-complete-api

Other protocols

• https://shellcomp.github.io/ -- Shellcomp is a simple standard to perform completion. Completion is implemented in the command about to be run: The shell runs the command with a specific --tabcomplete '<partial_string>' option. The command responds with simple JSON structure that the shell will parse to perform completion or display help messages.
