# shell-use

> Use this tool when you need to execute system commands, automate tasks, or interact with the operating system like a human user. It solves problems such as file management, process execution, and system configuration by providing a command-line interface to agents. With shell-use, agents can input commands and receive output in the form of text or files, making it ideal for tasks that require direct system interaction.
