Show HN for TERMy, a terminal assistant by the PJON author that converts natural language to shell commands via a classical NLU pipeline (exact match, template match, IDF-weighted BOW with Levenshtein) rather than embeddings, ML, or LLMs. Runs on CPU including Raspberry Pi Zero, responds in milliseconds, with hardcoded permission gating.

Useful counterpoint to LLM-only tooling: a working CPU-only NLU pipeline for a narrow task, with explicit pipeline steps and permission handling worth studying before reaching for an API.
