agent-tools — plan

Goal

A collection of small, agent-friendly CLI tools. The common thread: text in, verifiable artifacts out. An agent should be able to author the input format directly, predict what the output will look like, and verify results without a GUI.

Stack

• Go (single static binaries, zero deps, trivial cross-compile to the Pi5's arm64 runner), one Go module per tool.
• Targets: linux x64 + linux arm64.

Deploy target

Pattern A (distributable binaries): rolling <tool>-latest release per tool on Gitea, built by .gitea/workflows/release.yml on push to master/main. Only tools whose folders changed get rebuilt.

Milestones

1. ✅ pixel-sprite-maker (spritec): .sprite text format → PNG/JPG/SVG, sprite sheets with self-documenting file names, terminal preview.
2. ✅ mesh-tool (mesht): OBJ/STL create/inspect/edit with ASCII multi-view rendering, measurements and watertightness checks.
3. ✅ Per-tool VS Code build tasks → <tool>/build/.
4. ✅ CI: changed-tool detection + per-tool rolling releases.

Roadmap / expansion ideas (not agreed yet)

• spritec: palette import from image files, GIF export for animations, tile-map composer (map file referencing sprite tiles).
• mesht: OBJ vertex-color support, simple boolean ops (union via voxelization), PNG snapshot rendering, glTF export.
• New tools: bitmap-font maker, sound-effect generator (sfxr-style text presets), tiled-map (.tmx) writer.

Agent-capability tools (see tool-parity.md)

Close the gap between Gemini CLI and Claude Code, plus homelab admin tools grounded in infra-Doc history. Suggested order:

1. notifyr — send/read on the existing Pi5 ntfy bus (≈ PushNotification).
2. giteactl — Gitea Actions runs, zst CI logs, wait/wait-quiet build serialization, releases.
3. waitfor — block until a condition holds (≈ Monitor); cronr — systemd-user-timer scheduling (≈ CronCreate/List/Delete).
4. fleet — one-shot homelab health snapshot via the read-only claude-docker wrapper.
5. envaudit — compose ↔ .env key/inline-secret audit; reghelper — registry catalog + prune plans; pagepub — publish HTML/MD report to a URL (≈ Artifact); nbcell — Jupyter cell editing (≈ NotebookEdit); wtreectl — disposable git worktrees.
6. fanout — parallel headless-agent orchestration (≈ Workflow); only on concrete need.

Open questions

• Versioned releases (vX.Y.Z tags per tool) on top of the rolling latest — add when something depends on a pinned version.
