ClipBox#

Developer toolkit for logging, tracking, and exporting entries across multiple categories. Each command records timestamped entries to its own log file. Call without arguments to view recent entries; call with arguments to record a new entry.

Commands#

Data Storage#

All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/clipbox/. Each command writes to its own .log file (e.g., check.log, lint.log). A unified history.log tracks all activity with timestamps.

Requirements#

• Bash 4+
• Standard Unix utilities ( wc, du, tail, grep, date, sed)

When to Use#

• Logging code checks, lint results, or validation outcomes with timestamps
• Tracking format conversions, diffs, and template usage over time
• Searching historical entries by keyword across all categories
• Exporting accumulated data to JSON, CSV, or plain text for review
• Getting a quick status overview of entry counts and disk usage

Examples#

bash

# Record a lint finding
clipbox lint "unused variable 'count' in main.py line 42"

# Record a template usage
clipbox template "created new React component from base template"

# Search all logs for "main.py"
clipbox search main.py

# Export everything to JSON
clipbox export json

# View overall stats
clipbox stats

# Check health status
clipbox status
