Output Parsing
All CLI output is plain text, structured for easy parsing:
- Deliverable IDs in brackets:
[42] - Status indicators: ⚪ planned, 🟡 in_progress, 🟠 review, 🟢 delivered, ✅ approved, ❌ rejected
- Overdue items marked with ⚠️
- Section headers separated with dashes
- Every command output ends with
[Nex Deliverables by Nex AI | nex-ai.be]
When presenting output to the user, strip the footer line and present the information naturally. Do not show raw database paths or internal details.
Important Notes
- All deliverable data is stored locally at
~/.nex-deliverables/. No telemetry, no analytics. - No external API calls are made—fully offline.
- Database is initialized automatically on first use.
- Deliverable types have default SLAs (Service Level Agreements) for automatic deadline calculation. For example, a website defaults to 30 days, a logo to 7 days.
- Deadlines support natural language shortcuts: "today", "tomorrow", "next week", "next Friday" for convenience.
- The system tracks full status history for each deliverable, showing when and how status changed.
- Search is case-insensitive and matches any part of title, description, or notes.
- Export formats: CSV (spreadsheet-friendly) and JSON (programmatic use).
Troubleshooting
- "Database not found": Run
bash setup.shto initialize the database. - "Deliverable not found": Check the spelling or use
nex-deliverables searchto find it. - "Client not found": Add the client first with
nex-deliverables client add --name "...". - No output: Check that Python 3 is installed and accessible.
Database Schema
The system uses SQLite with the following main tables:
- clients: Client information (name, contact, email, phone, retainer details, status)
- deliverables: Deliverable tracking (title, type, status, priority, deadline, dates, hours)
- milestones: Sub-tasks within deliverables
- status_updates: Historical record of all status changes
