# Design Tool

Design Tool v2.0.0 — a utility toolkit for logging, tracking, and managing design-related entries from the command line.

Commands

All commands accept optional input arguments. Without arguments, they display recent entries from the corresponding log. With arguments, they record a new timestamped entry.

| Command | Description |

|---------|-------------|

| `run <input>` | Record or view run entries |

| `check <input>` | Record or view check entries |

| `convert <input>` | Record or view convert entries |

| `analyze <input>` | Record or view analyze entries |

| `generate <input>` | Record or view generate entries |

| `preview <input>` | Record or view preview entries |

| `batch <input>` | Record or view batch entries |

| `compare <input>` | Record or view compare entries |

| `export <input>` | Record or view export entries |

| `config <input>` | Record or view config entries |

| `status <input>` | Record or view status entries |

| `report <input>` | Record or view report entries |

| `stats` | Show summary statistics across all log files |

| `search <term>` | Search all log entries for a keyword (case-insensitive) |

| `recent` | Display the 20 most recent history log entries |

| `help` | Show usage information |

| `version` | Print version (v2.0.0) |

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in `~/.local/share/design-tool/`:

No external services, databases, or API keys are required. Everything is flat-file and human-readable.

Requirements

When to Use

Examples

# Record a new run entry
design-tool run "updated homepage wireframe v3"

# View recent run entries (no args = show history)
design-tool run

# Check something and log it
design-tool check "color contrast passes WCAG AA"

# Analyze and record
design-tool analyze "user flow has 5 steps, target is 3"

# Preview and record
design-tool preview "mobile layout at 375px"

# Compare designs
design-tool compare "v2 vs v3 header layout"

# Search across all logs
design-tool search "wireframe"

# View summary statistics
design-tool stats

# Show recent activity across all commands
design-tool recent

# Show tool version
design-tool version

# Show full help
design-tool help

How It Works

Each command follows the same pattern:

1. **With arguments** — Timestamps the input, appends it to the command-specific log file, prints confirmation, and logs to `history.log`.

2. **Without arguments** — Shows the last 20 entries from that command's log file.

The `stats` command iterates all `.log` files, counts entries per file, and reports totals plus disk usage. The `search` command performs case-insensitive grep across all log files. The `recent` command tails the last 20 lines of `history.log`.
