Data Storage

All data is stored as plain-text log files in ~/.local/share/podcast-notes/:

• Each command writes to its own log file (e.g. draft.log, hashtags.log, outline.log)
• Every action is also recorded in history.log with a timestamp
• Entries use the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<input> (pipe-delimited)
• Export produces files at ~/.local/share/podcast-notes/export.{json,csv,txt}
• No database required — all data is grep-friendly and human-readable

Requirements

• Bash 4+ (uses set -euo pipefail)
• Standard Unix utilities: date, wc, du, head, tail, grep, cat, cut
• No external dependencies — pure bash, no Python, no API keys
• Works on Linux and macOS

When to Use

1. Episode pre-production — Use outline to structure your episode segments, hooks to craft an attention-grabbing intro, and schedule to lock in your publish date.
2. Show notes creation — Run draft to write initial show notes, edit to refine them, and optimize with SEO keywords for better discoverability.
3. Social media promotion — Use hashtags to generate tag sets, headline to test different episode titles, and cta to create share-worthy call-to-action copy.
4. Multi-language distribution — Log translate entries for episode descriptions in different languages, and tone to adjust the style for different regional audiences.
5. Content repurposing — Use rewrite to transform episode content into blog posts, newsletters, or social clips, keeping all versions tracked with timestamps.
