StreetPack: A local-first docked launcher for safer CLI workflows

I just released StreetPack, a small open-source project built around a simple idea:
make powerful CLI tools safer to use without hiding what they do.

StreetPack is a lightweight, local-only docked launcher for command-line utilities. It doesn’t replace Bash or scripts — it wraps them with just enough structure to reduce foot-guns when you’re tired, moving fast, or working in sensitive directories.

Key characteristics:

Runs local CLI tools only

No cloud services, no background agents, no telemetry

Explicit targets and arguments

Optional receipts and outputs written to predictable paths

Designed to be inspectable, boring, and easy to reason about

The motivation came from years of copy-pasting commands, double-checking flags, and still feeling uneasy before hitting Enter. StreetPack aims to slow that moment down just enough to make intent and impact clear.

It’s Linux-focused, MIT licensed, and intentionally minimal. The goal isn’t to add features — it’s to reduce accidental mistakes while keeping full operator control.

Feedback from people who live in terminals and scripts all day is very welcome.
