Markov sequence prediction for zsh when mcfly and atuin already exist.

Strengths

•Markov sequence prediction learns command patterns, not just prefix matching like zsh-autosuggestions.
•Directory affinity weights suggestions based on current working directory context.
•SQLite daemon serves all terminal windows with sub-millisecond response times.

Weaknesses

•Crowded category with mcfly, atuin, and fish shell offering similar features.
•Requires background daemon process instead of pure shell plugin architecture.

Post Description

Deja runs a local sqlite daemon over a unix socket, scores your history with frecency + directory affinity and uses Markov style sequence prediction to suggest what you’ll type next.

Pls let me know what you think. I'm still improving the tool and open for feedbacks. :)
