Using with Local RAG

When you import datasheets via Local RAG, Magic Input uses that knowledge for hardware-specific commands.

@"turn on the status LED"
Suggested command:
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio147/value
GPIO5_IO19 (pin 147) is STATUS_LED — from your datasheet

The AI cites the source document so you can verify the information.

Tips for Better Results

Be specific

"show files modified in the last hour" is better than "show recent files"

Include context

"find Python files containing 'import requests'" gives more targeted results

State the goal, not the steps

"backup this directory to /mnt/backup" instead of "how do I use rsync"

Review before running

Always check the suggested command, especially for destructive operations like rm
