shellsafe bash SFT
Natural-language request to Bash command pairs in chat format, used to train
shellsafe-qwen2.5-coder-0.5b.
That model is the weight average of one fine-tune on v4 and one on v5.
| Config | Train | Validation |
|---|---|---|
v4 |
72,055 | 1,246 |
v5 (default) |
77,774 | 1,246 |
Both configs share the same base rows; they differ in the teacher-generated rows (round 1 in v4, round 3 in v5).
Format
One JSON object per line:
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a bash command generator. ..."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Request: find all .tmp files not accessed in 7 days"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "find . -name '*.tmp' -atime +7"}],
"id": "compose:1260:7", "source": "compose", "mode": "none"}
Sources
source says where a row came from:
source |
What it is | Origin and license |
|---|---|---|
tldr* |
requests written by Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct for tldr-pages example commands | commands from tldr-pages contributors, CC BY 4.0 |
compose* |
multi-step requests and commands built from tldr examples by the same model | derived from tldr-pages, CC BY 4.0 |
nl2sh* |
the train split of NL2SH-ALFA | MIT |
targeted:* |
requests about a fixture file system written by Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct, kept only when two independent teacher answers printed the same output in a sandbox | generated for this dataset |
Candidate pairs were run in a sandbox and judged by the local teacher before they were kept.
Suffixes: +fix is a command the teacher-judge corrected (the correction also had to run); +rl is a row that got a
second opinion from API models (Kimi-K3, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next), whose command was replaced only
when two of them called the original wrong and the replacement ran in the sandbox.
Because of the tldr-derived rows the dataset as a whole is released under CC BY 4.0. Please credit tldr-pages and the NL2SH-ALFA authors when you use it.
Decontamination
No NL2SH-ALFA test items or InterCode-Corrections data are included. No training request matches an NL2SH-ALFA test request exactly, and teacher-generated requests with word overlap (Jaccard) of 0.6 or more with any test request were dropped.
Notes
- Emails, keys and host names in the data are made-up placeholders (for example
john.doe@gmail.com). - Some commands are destructive (for example
rm -rf); the data teaches what a command looks like, not whether it is wise to run it.
