🎨 ARCHITECTURE

Design Principles

  • Modular: Each feature is a standalone zsh script
  • Consistent: All tools use same color scheme and patterns
  • Persistent: SQLite for reliable data storage
  • Self-initializing: Tools create their databases on first run
  • Zero-config: Works out of the box

🐛 KNOWN ISSUES & FIXES

Fixed During Development

  1. macOS head incompatibility: head -n -2 doesn't work on macOS
    • Fixed with manual line counting
  2. Delimiter parsing: ||| caused issues with data containing those chars
    • Switched to tab delimiter
  3. String substitution: ${var^} not available in zsh
    • Used tr + substring workaround
  4. Context Radar stability: fswatch daemon crashes
    • Created standalone watcher script

💡 FUTURE IDEAS

Potential additions:

  • br test - Test runner with coverage
  • br docs - Documentation generator
  • br cloud - Cloud resource manager
  • br security - Security scanner
  • br monitor - System monitoring
  • br backup - Backup manager
  • br ci - CI/CD integration
  • br package - Package manager wrapper

🎯 PHILOSOPHY

BlackRoad CLI embodies:

  • Speed: Fast, efficient workflows
