Slash a path through the bloat

Sharp tools for hackers who remember when software didn't fight you. Zero deps, instant setup, no frameworks to babysit.

Built for the Command Line

Small, sharp programs that do one thing well

~/project
$ inform https://docs.example.com # Crawl documentation site
✓ Crawled 42 pages, saved as Markdown
$ catalog --input docs --output build --sitemap # Generate llms.txt index
✓ Generated llms.txt with 42 files indexed
$ unify build # Static site, zero config
✓ Built 23 pages in 847ms
$ git add . && giv message # AI-powered commit
✓ Generated: "feat: add documentation with automated indexing"

giv

Git workflows on autopilot

AI-powered commit messages, changelogs, and release notes. Ships as a static binary, talks to any LLM backend, doesn't break your flow.

$ giv message $ giv changelog v1.0.0..HEAD $ giv release-notes --format markdown

Why we built it: Writing commit messages is grunt work. Let the machine do grunt work while you build.

u

unify

Static sites for people who remember HTML

Build sites with Apache SSI syntax and modern tooling. No JSX, no build step hell, no framework lock-in. Just fast sites that ship.

$ unify build $ unify serve $ unify watch

Why we built it: Static site generators became more complex than the sites they build. We fixed that.

i

inform

High-performance web content crawler

Crawl websites, extract main content, and convert to clean Markdown. Powered by Bun for maximum performance with zero dependencies.

$ inform https://docs.example.com $ inform github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/docs $ inform --include "*.md" --exclude "temp/*"

Why we built it: Documentation migration and content extraction shouldn't require heavy frameworks. Fast, focused, effective.

c

catalog

AI-ready documentation indexer

Generate llms.txt and llms-full.txt from Markdown/HTML directories. Perfect for AI-powered documentation workflows and searchable knowledge bases.

$ catalog --input docs --output build $ catalog --sitemap --base-url https://docs.example.com $ catalog --optional "drafts/**/*" --validate

Why we built it: AI tools need structured, indexed content. We made it trivial to prepare documentation for AI consumption.

The Path Forward

Old-school principles, new-school execution

We're not building the next unicorn framework. We're building tools for hackers who value craft over hype.

Ship binaries, not ecosystems: Download once, run everywhere. No package manager roulette or dependency hell.

Hack with the grain: Work with web standards and POSIX conventions instead of reinventing everything.

Performance starts in your head: Tools should amplify human intelligence, not fight it with ceremony and complexity.

The / isn't just our logo - it's a commitment to cutting through the cruft.
