ScriptKitten

Homemade ScriptKit for Linux — Bun + TypeScript + Ulauncher.

Setup

cd ~/repos/ScriptKitten
bun install

Register scripts with Ulauncher

After adding or removing a script:

bun run register
# or directly:
bun run scripts/_register.ts

This writes .desktop files to ~/.local/share/applications/ prefixed with scriptkitten-. Ulauncher picks them up automatically — search SK: to filter them.

Add a new script

1. Create scripts/your-script-name.ts
2. Run bun run register
3. Open Ulauncher → type SK: Your Script Name → Enter

Included scripts

Script	What it does
generate-password.ts	Generates a random password and copies it to clipboard
clipboard-clean.ts	Strips formatting/trailing whitespace from clipboard
rename-files.ts	Batch-prefix rename files in a folder (Zenity UI)
resize-images.ts	Resize all images in a folder via ImageMagick (Zenity UI)
