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
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
clipbox check <input> | Record a check entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox validate <input> | Record a validate entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox generate <input> | Record a generate entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox format <input> | Record a format entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox lint <input> | Record a lint entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox explain <input> | Record an explain entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox convert <input> | Record a convert entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox template <input> | Record a template entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox diff <input> | Record a diff entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox preview <input> | Record a preview entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox fix <input> | Record a fix entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox report <input> | Record a report entry (no args = show recent) |
clipbox stats | Show summary statistics across all log files |
clipbox export <fmt> | Export all data to json, csv, or txt format |
clipbox search <term> | Search all log entries for a keyword |
clipbox recent | Show the 20 most recent history entries |
clipbox status | Health check — version, entry count, disk usage, last activity |
clipbox help | Show help message |
clipbox version | Show version (v2.0.0) |
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
# 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
