Clipbox

Save and organize reusable text snippets for quick retrieval. Use when storing code fragments, saving command templates, or building snippet libraries.

Developer toolkit for logging, tracking, and exporting entries across multiple categories. Each command records timestamped entries to its own log file. Call without arguments to view recent entries; call with arguments to record a new entry.

Commands

Command	What it does
clipbox check <input>	Record a check entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox validate <input>	Record a validate entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox generate <input>	Record a generate entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox format <input>	Record a format entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox lint <input>	Record a lint entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox explain <input>	Record an explain entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox convert <input>	Record a convert entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox template <input>	Record a template entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox diff <input>	Record a diff entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox preview <input>	Record a preview entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox fix <input>	Record a fix entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox report <input>	Record a report entry (no args = show recent)
clipbox stats	Show summary statistics across all log files
clipbox export <fmt>	Export all data to json, csv, or txt format
clipbox search <term>	Search all log entries for a keyword
clipbox recent	Show the 20 most recent history entries
clipbox status	Health check — version, entry count, disk usage, last activity
clipbox help	Show help message
clipbox version	Show version (v2.0.0)

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/clipbox/. Each command writes to its own .log file (e.g., check.log, lint.log). A unified history.log tracks all activity with timestamps.

Requirements

• Bash 4+
• Standard Unix utilities (wc, du, tail, grep, date, sed)

When to Use

• Logging code checks, lint results, or validation outcomes with timestamps
• Tracking format conversions, diffs, and template usage over time
• Searching historical entries by keyword across all categories
• Exporting accumulated data to JSON, CSV, or plain text for review
• Getting a quick status overview of entry counts and disk usage

Examples

# Record a lint finding
clipbox lint "unused variable 'count' in main.py line 42"

# Record a template usage
clipbox template "created new React component from base template"

# Search all logs for "main.py"
clipbox search main.py

# Export everything to JSON
clipbox export json

# View overall stats
clipbox stats

# Check health status
clipbox status
