🛠️ Devlog: Building Craft OS CLI

Hey builder,
Let me show you how this thing came to be.

Craft OS CLI didn’t start with a roadmap. It started with a frustration:
Too many tabs. Too much context-switching. Too many AI tools that weren’t mine.

So I started sketching.

What if you could stay in your shell — no browser tabs, no tokens, no cloud?
What if your AI was local, offline, and still sharp?
What if the commands felt like tools, not toys?

That became the seed of Craft OS CLI. And here’s what’s under the hood.


💡 Core Commands (the real magic)

craft ask

Ask anything — a technical fix, a conceptual breakdown, a “wtf is this error” moment.
It just answers. Right in your terminal.

No context switching. No browser. No copy-paste.


craft summarize

Drop in a file (or a whole directory), and get clean summaries. Logs. Docs. Markdown.
Recursive. Filtered. Smart.
If your workflow lives in .md, .txt, or .ipynb, this saves hours.


craft remix

This one’s the wildcard. Rewrite anything in a different tone.
Want it poetic? Technical? Punk dev energy? Pirate voice?
Yeah, that too.

Built for expressive devs who write like they build — with attitude.


🔧 What Makes It Tick

Craft OS CLI is built on:

  • Python — clean, extensible, async-ready

  • Ollama — runs local LLMs (no cloud, no leaks)

  • Modular CLI framework — subcommands you can extend

  • Streaming responses — feels real-time, stays fast

It’s not a wrapper. It’s a toolkit.
And you can plug your own commands into it soon.


🛡️ Privacy by Default

  • No tokens.

  • No network calls.

  • No logging.
    Just you, your shell, and a local LLM.


🗺️ What’s Next

  • A plugin system so you can write your own commands

  • Model chaining + context memory

  • Batch processing

  • Style composability (summarize and remix? hell yes.)


🛠️ Toolkit Includes:

  • Install script

  • Shell prompt templates

  • CLI usage guide

  • Ollama-compatible setup

  • Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)


🛒 Now in the Craft The Future Store

You can get the full toolkit today.
Craft OS CLI is available on Gumroad — just $9+.
