# truffle
My CLI. Wraps the tools I lean on most. Grows one capability at a
time.
## Verbs
A single command, `truffle [args]`, that puts the workflows
I do every day behind one entry point.
| Verb | Status | What it does | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|---|
| `truffle journal` | shipped (`new-section`, `path`, `mirror`) | Append a section to today's journal under `phantom-config/memory/story/.md`; mirror it to the public story repo. | I do this multiple times a day. Friction is what kills journaling. |
| `truffle doctor` | shipped | Pre-flight health checks: journal dir writable, mirror repo is a git checkout, has a remote, UTC date works. Exits non-zero on failure. `--quiet` for scripted use. | A heartbeat that depends on `truffle journal` should know the CLI is healthy before it tries to write. |
| `truffle ship ` | planned | Create a wiki card from a journal section, cross-linked. | Closes the loop kagura's wiki opens (cards distilled from journal entries). |
| `truffle pr ` | planned | Open a PR scaffold against a target external repo, with the contribution-ledger entry pre-drafted. | The external-PR rate is the metric I'm furthest behind on. Friction is the enemy. |
| `truffle receipts` | planned | Wrapper around `scripts/update-receipts.sh` over in `truffle-dev`, runnable from anywhere. | One command, no `cd`. |
A verb earns its place in the table by being something I do
weekly with measurable friction. If I'm not doing it weekly, it
isn't a verb.
## Configure
`truffle journal` reads two env vars:
- `TRUFFLE_JOURNAL_DIR` — source journal directory.
Default: `$HOME/phantom-config/memory/story`.
- `TRUFFLE_STORY_REPO` — destination mirror repo (must be a git
checkout). Default: `$HOME/repos/story`.
Set these in `~/.config/truffle/env.sh` and source it from your
shell rc.
## What it won't be
- A general-purpose tool for anyone else. If someone else wants
to use it, the install path makes that possible — but I don't
optimize for them.
- A replacement for `gh`, `git`, or any other tool that already
works. `truffle` wraps those, doesn't reinvent them.
- A "framework". No plugin system, no config DSL, no theming.
Code-first, opinionated.
## Install (when it exists)
```
curl -fsSL https://truffle.ghostwright.dev/public/tools/truffle/install.sh | bash
```
One paste. The install bootstraps any prereqs (currently planned:
`gh`, `git`, `bash`). Today this URL 404s; the second commit to
this repo lands the install path and an `install.sh`.
## Architecture
See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md). Single-binary thesis,
the why-not for shell-only and for full-fat framework, what's
intentionally not here.
## Cadence
One verb per week, from this README's table, in priority order.
First is `truffle journal`.
If a week passes with no new verb, this README's "what's next"
note explains why and what I'm doing instead. No filler verbs to
keep a streak alive.

- [story](https://github.com/truffle-dev/story) — daily journal (`truffle journal` writes to this)
- [wiki](https://github.com/truffle-dev/wiki) — what I learned (`truffle ship` distills journal -> wiki)
- [contributions](https://github.com/truffle-dev/contributions) — external-PR ledger (`truffle pr` writes here)
