dkt - the developer's swiss army knife

35+ small, sharp CLI tools under one command: dkt. Pure Python, zero dependencies, Windows / macOS / Linux. Colored output, spinners, aligned tables, typo suggestions ("did you mean..."), tab-completion, and an interactive menu.

Install

pip install dktcli
dkt                # see every tool

No PyPI? From this folder: pip install . - or on Windows just double-click install.bat (it also fixes your PATH). If dkt isn't found, python -m devkittools always works.

Update: dkt update (PyPI installs) or double-click update.bat (does git pull if this is a clone). Uninstall: uninstall.bat or pip uninstall dktcli.

The tools

Run dkt for the list, dkt <tool> -h for examples of any tool, or dkt menu for an interactive launcher.

Data & Text

System & dkt itself

dkt doctor (system info + which dev tools you have), dkt update, dkt config, dkt completion, dkt menu, dkt about.

Handy patterns

dkt js fmt --paste --copy          # clean up JSON from your clipboard
cat resp.json | dkt js get data.items[0].id
dkt sv --open --spa                # serve the folder, SPA fallback, open browser
dkt w -c "pytest -q" --clear       # tests on every save
dkt sec --json || echo "secrets found"   # CI gate
dkt tr --copy                      # paste a project tree into docs / AI chats
dkt new python mytool              # new project, ready to go

Tab completion

dkt completion powershell | Out-String | Add-Content $PROFILE   # PowerShell

eval "$(dkt completion bash)"      # add to ~/.bashrc (zsh: dkt completion zsh)

Settings

dkt config set author "Your Name" (used by license / init), dkt config set model qwen2.5-coder:7b (commit writer). Env vars DKT_<KEY> override the file. NO_COLOR=1 disables colors, DKT_ASCII=1 disables unicode symbols.

Publishing to PyPI (maintainers)

1. The PyPI package is called dktcli (set in pyproject.toml); the command you type is still dkt.
2. Run publish.bat (builds, checks, uploads with your API token) - or use the included GitHub Action (.github/workflows/publish.yml, trusted publishing) and just create a Release.
3. Bump __version__ in src/devkittools/__init__.py for every release.

Development

pip install -e .
python -m unittest discover -s tests

Adding a tool = one file in src/devkittools/tools/ with a META tuple and a register() function, then add it to MODULES in cli.py.
