A short animated training guide to mshell v.1.4.1 — the core language of the mshell Ecosystem.
The guide introduces the main parts of the language and shows them through practical, executable examples: variables, scripts, functions, IF / FOR / WHILE structures, ranges, file operations, pipelines, Linux command integration, embedded Python and Lua, LLM commands, context memory, URL caching, mathematical functions, and AI-assisted automation.
It also introduces mshell Workflow: executable Markdown workflows, polyglot stages, inter-language data exchange, parallel execution, LLM pipelines, agentic workflow patterns, and end-to-end orchestration across Bash, Python, C, C++, Rust, Go, Lua, mshell, and multiple LLMs.
The presentation was built as an animated technical guide using mtoon, another tool from the mshell Ecosystem.
