skill-template

Multi-purpose utility tool for managing entries, searching data, and exporting records. A general-purpose CLI toolkit with init, add/remove, list, search, and export capabilities — ideal as a starting point for building your own skill or as a standalone data management tool.

Commands

Command	Description
`skill-template run <input>`	Execute the main function with the given input
`skill-template config`	Show configuration file path ( `config.json` location)
`skill-template status`	Show current status (reports "ready" when operational)
`skill-template init`	Initialize the data directory and prepare for use
`skill-template list`	List all entries in the data log
`skill-template add <entry>`	Add a new dated entry to the data log
`skill-template remove <entry>`	Remove a specified entry
`skill-template search <term>`	Search the data log for a term (case-insensitive)
`skill-template export`	Export all data from the data log to stdout
`skill-template info`	Show version number and data directory path
`skill-template help`	Show help message with all available commands
`skill-template version`	Show version number

How It Works

skill-template

manages a simple text-based data log (

data.log

) in its data directory. You can add entries (automatically date-stamped), list them, search through them, and export the full contents. Every command is also recorded in a separate

history.log

for auditing.

Workflow

Initialize: Run
```
skill-template init
```
to set up the data directory
Add entries: Use
```
skill-template add
```
to log items with automatic date stamps
Review: Use
```
skill-template list
```
to see all entries or
```
skill-template search
```
to find specific ones
Export: Run
```
skill-template export
```
to output all data for backup or processing

Data Storage

All data is stored in

$SKILL_TEMPLATE_DIR

or defaults to

~/.local/share/skill-template/

. The directory contains:

```
data.log
```
— main data file where entries are stored (date-stamped lines)
```
history.log
```
— timestamped log of all commands executed
```
config.json
```
— configuration file path (referenced by
```
config
```
command)

The tool automatically creates the data directory on first run. You can override the storage location by setting the

SKILL_TEMPLATE_DIR

environment variable.

Requirements

Shell: Bash 4+
No external dependencies — uses only standard Unix utilities (
```
date
```
,
```
grep
```
,
```
wc
```
,
```
cat
```
)
Works on: Linux, macOS, any POSIX-compatible system

When to Use

Quick data logging — Use
```
skill-template add "meeting notes: discussed Q2 targets"
```
to capture timestamped entries without opening an editor
Building a new skill — Fork this as a starting template with a working CLI framework (case dispatch, logging, data management) already in place
Simple searchable notebook — Add notes throughout the day, then use
```
skill-template search "keyword"
```
to find them later
Data export for processing — Run
```
skill-template export
```
to pipe all entries to another tool or save as a backup file
Learning bash CLI patterns — Study the script as an example of a well-structured bash tool with case-based dispatch, logging, and data management

Examples

# Initialize the data directory
skill-template init

# Add some entries
skill-template add "Project Alpha: milestone 1 complete"
skill-template add "Bug fix: resolved login timeout issue"
skill-template add "Meeting: sprint review with team"

# List all entries
skill-template list

# Search for project-related entries
skill-template search "Project"

# Check the tool status
skill-template status

# View version and data location
skill-template info

# Show configuration path
skill-template config

# Export all data to a file
skill-template export > backup.txt

# Run a custom function
skill-template run "my-task"

Configuration

Set the

SKILL_TEMPLATE_DIR

environment variable to change the data directory:

export SKILL_TEMPLATE_DIR="$HOME/my-skill-data"

Default location:

~/.local/share/skill-template/

Output

All command output goes to stdout in plain text. The

list

and

export

commands output the raw content of

data.log

, making them easy to pipe into other tools:

skill-template list | grep "2024-03"
skill-template export | wc -l
