v1.0.0
First stable release. A cohesive macOS shell suite where every tool follows the same shape — shared lib/, env-driven layout, consistent flags, terse output.
Tools
encrypt/decrypt— age-based file encryption with your SSH ed25519 key. Keychain caches the unlocked passphrase so subsequent operations don't re-prompt.open-age— Decrypt → open → re-encrypt on save. Edit.age-encrypted files in your normal editor.vault— Obsidian + git glue:vault sync(pull + push),vault status(working tree, remote sync, inbox count),vault inbox(list pending notes).inbox— Quick-capture timestamped notes into the vault inbox. Pipes from stdin, opens$EDITORwith-e.backup—rsyncmirror of tracked files into$BACKUPS_HOME, auto-commits if the destination is a git repo. Source/destination pairs inconfig/backup.sh(gitignored; copy from.example).dns-test— Latency diagnostics across resolvers (Cloudflare, Quad9, Google, local, custom). Useful for diagnosing AdGuard / DoT / DoH setups.hq— Bridge between a private Obsidian vault and a Django docs/projects/assets index (Severino HQ). Subcommands:hq sync— walk vault → push frontmatter manifest → upsert HQ docs index bydoc_idhq doctor— report docs missing / with invalid frontmatterhq create project|asset <slug> --name "<name>" [flags]— idempotent record upsertshq deploy [--no-build]—git pull --ff-only && docker compose up -d --buildon$HQ_SSH_HOSThq logs [-f] [--tail N]— app container logshq restart—docker compose restart app(no rebuild)hq shell/hq superuser— interactive Django commands over SSHhq open/hq export— open in browser / pull year summary
Shape
- Layout vars (
NOTES_HOME,TOOLS_HOME,KEYS_HOME,BACKUPS_HOME,HQ_*) are exported from~/.zshrc. Tools refuse to run without them (${VAR:?set in ~/.zshrc}). - Shared helpers (
msg,die,header,footer, color vars) inlib/common.sh. - Per-family config in
config/*.sh— tracked.exampletemplates, gitignored personal copies. - macOS-first. Compatible with system bash 3.2 and zsh.
- Idempotent or read-only subcommands wherever the underlying operation is upsert-shaped (
vault sync,backup,hq sync,hq create,hq deploy).
CI
Every push lints the full source on macOS — bash -n, zsh -n, shellcheck -x across all tools and sourced libs/configs.
