CLI tools for data engineering workflows

adaptivegears

CLI tools for data engineering workflows. Part of the AdaptiveGears ecosystem.

Why

We document patterns in our knowledge base. But patterns without tools are just theory.

This library closes the loop: tools we actually use at work become the examples in our articles. When we write about UUID v7 for time-sortable identifiers, we're using adaptivegears uuid -7. When we document PostgreSQL introspection, we're running adaptivegears pg list.

The constraint: keep it practical. All dependencies included - no extras to manage.

Install

uvx adaptivegears --help

No install needed. uvx runs it directly from PyPI.

Commands

uuid

Generate UUIDs. v4 by default, v7 for time-sortable.

uvx adaptivegears uuid           # v4
uvx adaptivegears uuid -7        # v7 (time-sortable)
uvx adaptivegears uuid -7 -n 5   # multiple

pg

PostgreSQL utilities. Uses libpq environment variables.

export PGDATABASE=mydb PGHOST=localhost PGUSER=postgres

uvx adaptivegears pg list                # tables in public schema
uvx adaptivegears pg list -s myschema    # different schema
uvx adaptivegears pg list --json         # machine-readable

Claude Code

These tools work well with Claude Code.

For repetitive tasks, Claude Code tends to write solutions from scratch. It usually works. But edge cases accumulate in places you wouldn't expect - bit layouts, parsing quirks, format inconsistencies.

This library provides polished alternatives. Instead of generating throwaway scripts, Claude Code can reach for tested implementations. The --json flag ensures consistent output for further processing.

The tools grow from patterns we've already debugged. Less re-invention, fewer surprises, fewer tokens.
