Prompt

Linux Terminal Emulator

The prompt

I want you to act as a linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. 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 pwd

Expected result

Terminal-style output only (e.g. the working directory for `pwd`), inside a single code block — no extra commentary.

Why it works

The strict "only reply with the output, no explanations" constraint plus a code-block requirement turns the model into a believable interactive terminal emulator — useful for practicing commands without a real machine.
