UNIX++ Pack
Modern UNIX command line replacements and operators for search, file inspection, process monitoring, data wrangling, and HTTP/DNS work.
The classic UNIX toolchain still works, but agent work benefits from tools that are faster, more readable, and easier to compose. Operators need output that humans can scan and agents can parse.
UNIX++ Pack turns the old pack idea into a public shortlist: 23 Homebrew packages for finding, previewing, navigating, watching, measuring, transforming, and querying from the command line.
bat, eza, dust, duf, procs, bottom, and tokei make files, directories, disks, processes, and code volume more visible.
fd, ripgrep, fzf, zoxide, choose, and sd reduce shell friction when operators and agents are exploring a tree.
jq, yq, miller, xh, doggo, entr, watchexec, git-delta, and hyperfine help parse, query, watch, diff, and measure work.
Pack install
The pack link sends every package as one install request. pkg⋅mgr² still installs them one at a time through the existing package managers.
Preview helpers
Extra bat-powered helpers for diffs, manpages, watch output, and pretty printing.
Directory listing
Modern ls replacement with tree views, icons, Git state, and readable metadata.
