Kryptic CLI — Developer Productivity Tool

Philosophy

Every developer accumulates a collection of shell scripts, aliases, and one-off commands. Kryptic CLI aims to replace that chaos with a single, well-designed binary.

Features

• Project scaffolding — kryptic init creates new projects from templates
• Environment management — switch between configs, API keys, environments
• Task running — define and run multi-step workflows
• Code generation — generate boilerplate for common patterns

Architecture

Built in Go for fast startup time and easy distribution:

func main() {
    root := cli.New("kryptic", "Developer productivity tool")
    root.AddCommand(initCmd)
    root.AddCommand(envCmd)
    root.AddCommand(taskCmd)
    root.AddCommand(genCmd)
    root.Run()
}

Design Choices

• Single binary — no runtime dependencies
• Configuration as code — tasks defined in YAML, not a custom DSL
• Plugin system — extend via external executables
• Telemetry — optional, privacy-first

The tool is private while I iterate on the API, but the Go patterns used are solid.
