Purpose & Capability

Overall the script implements a local config/log utility matching the name/description. However a couple of declared commands do not perform the action a user would reasonably expect: 'remove' only echoes a removal message and does not delete entries from data.log, and 'run' only prints its argument rather than executing anything. The SKILL.md and script otherwise align on storage location and basic operations.

ℹ

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to run local commands (init, add, list, search, export). These are limited to local filesystem operations. Be aware the tool writes every executed command to history.log and appends user-provided text to data.log — so any sensitive text passed to 'config add' (or piped into the command examples like diff outputs) will be persisted.

✓

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill with a single bash script; no install spec, no remote downloads, and no package manager use — lowest install risk.

ℹ

Credentials

The registry metadata lists no required env vars, but the script honors CONFIG_DIR (override), XDG_DATA_HOME, and HOME for storage location. This is reasonable, but CONFIG_DIR is not declared as a required/provided env in metadata. Also: because data and history are stored under the user's data directory, those files may contain sensitive information if used to store secrets.

✓

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and the skill is user-invocable only. The script only creates files under the user's data directory (~/.local/share/config by default) and does not modify global/system settings or other skills' configs.

Assessment

This appears to be a simple local-only config/log tool and is coherent with its description. Before using it: (1) don't store secrets or credentials with 'config add' because entries and history are persisted in plaintext under your user data directory; (2) note that 'remove' does not actually delete entries — review/modify the script if you need true removal; (3) if you expect 'run' to execute commands, update the implementation (it currently only echoes the input). If you are comfortable with plaintext local logs and/or audit those files in backups, this skill is reasonable to install.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

Config

Multi-purpose configuration and data utility tool. Initialize settings, add entries, search records, and export data — all from the command line.

Commands

Command	Description
`config run <input>`	Execute the main function with the given input
`config config`	Show the configuration file path (`$DATA_DIR/config.json`)
`config status`	Display current system status (shows "ready" when operational)
`config init`	Initialize the data directory and prepare for first use
`config list`	List all entries stored in the data log
`config add <item>`	Add a new timestamped entry to the data log
`config remove <item>`	Remove a specified entry
`config search <term>`	Search entries by keyword (case-insensitive)
`config export`	Export all stored data to stdout
`config info`	Show version number and data directory path
`config help`	Show help with all available commands
`config version`	Show current version

Data Storage

Default data directory: ~/.local/share/config/
Data log: $DATA_DIR/data.log — stores all added entries with timestamps
History log: $DATA_DIR/history.log — timestamped record of every command executed
Override the storage location by setting the CONFIG_DIR environment variable

Requirements

Bash 4+ (uses set -euo pipefail)
No external dependencies, API keys, or network access required
Fully offline and local — data never leaves your machine

When to Use

Bootstrapping a new project — Run init to create the data directory and get a clean starting point for configuration tracking
Logging configuration changes — Use add to record timestamped configuration decisions, environment changes, or deployment notes
Searching through config history — Find specific entries with search to trace when a setting was last changed
Exporting settings for backup — Dump all stored entries with export and redirect to a file for version control or sharing
Quick status checks in scripts — Use status and info in automation pipelines to verify the tool is ready before proceeding

Examples

# Initialize the config data directory
config init

# Record a configuration change
config add "Set DATABASE_URL to production endpoint"

# Record another entry
config add "Enabled rate limiting: 100 req/min"

# List all recorded entries
config list

# Search for entries related to a keyword
config search "database"

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

# Check system status
config status

# View version and storage location
config info

How It Works

The tool maintains a simple date-stamped text log (data.log). Each add command appends a new line with the current date and your input. Every command execution is also logged to history.log for audit trails. The search command performs a case-insensitive grep, and export outputs the full data log to stdout.

Tips

Use config config to find where the config JSON file is stored — handy for automated backup
Pipe export into other tools: config export | wc -l to count entries
Combine with cron or CI/CD: log config drifts automatically with config add "$(diff old new)"
Run config help at any time to see the complete command reference
