There is no need to use add-on packages for this. Many Emacs command names still use a verb-noun ordering rather than a prefix-verb ordering, so in that sense, cd-shell works fine. This could just be an alias as well if all of the other shell related commands start with shell-.
It all boils down to your workflow .. Instead of doing M-x apropos or M-x apropos-command and go through 10's or 100's of results, I prefer using counsel-M-x from the counsel package. Below shows me all commands that begin with 'shell'. Note that I intentionally use regexp here.. I have "^shell" instead of just "shell", so it shows me only the commands that begin with "shell". Once I have that list, I pick one and hit return. That's it.
