Linux Terminal Simulator
Turn ChatGPT or Claude into a fully interactive Linux shell — type real commands and get realistic terminal output in a code block, with zero explanations in between.
The prompt

I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. do not write explanations. do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. when i need to tell you something in english, i will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}. my first command is pwdWorks in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other assistants. Replace the highlighted placeholders with your own content.
How to use it
Send the prompt, then type commands as your next messages. The AI answers only with terminal output in a code block. Use curly braces when you need to talk to it in plain English.
Tips for better results
- It is a simulation. Output can be inaccurate, so verify on a real system.
- Great for practicing command syntax without risking your machine.
