This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This repository contains Dropshell Tools - a collection of utilities that support dropshell development. The main tool is dropshell-tool, a C++ command-line application that manages tool installation, updates, and publishing for the dropshell ecosystem.

Architecture

Core Components

dropshell-tool: Main C++ application (dropshell-tool/src/)
- main.cpp: CLI interface and command routing
- ArchiveManager: Handles .tgz archive creation/extraction
- BashrcEditor: Manages ~/.bashrc_dropshell_tool script modifications
- DropshellScriptManager: Manages tool installation and configuration
- GetbinClient: HTTP client for downloading/uploading tools
sos: Simple object storage utility
whatsdirty: Git repository status checker

Build System

Uses CMake with C++23 standard
Docker-based builds with static linking
Uses external build base image gitea.jde.nz/public/dropshell-build-base:latest
Versioning based on timestamp format YYYY.MMDD.HHMM

Common Commands

Build Tools

# Build all tools (includes install from getbin.xyz)
./buildtestpublish_all.sh

# Build specific tool (dropshell-tool)
cd dropshell-tool && ./build.sh

# Test specific tool
cd dropshell-tool && ./test.sh

# Publish specific tool (requires SOS_WRITE_TOKEN)
cd dropshell-tool && ./publish.sh

Development Workflow

# Check status of all git repositories
./whatsdirty/whatsdirty.sh

# Build debug version (default in build.sh)
export CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug"

# Build release version (used in publish.sh)
export CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release"

Tool Functionality

dropshell-tool manages a tool ecosystem by:

Installing tools to ~/.local/bin/dropshell-tool/<tool_name>/
Managing bash completions and aliases via ~/.bashrc_dropshell_tool
Storing tool metadata in ~/.config/dropshell-tool/
Publishing/downloading tools via getbin.xyz object storage

Each tool includes a dropshell-tool-config.json with aliases and setup scripts.

Publishing Requirements

Publishing requires the SOS_WRITE_TOKEN environment variable for authentication to the object storage system.
