opskit 0.1.4

Cross-platform diagnostics for engineers — one toolkit, every OS.

opskit

Cross-platform diagnostics for engineers — one toolkit, every OS.

opskit gives engineers, developers, and operations teams one consistent set of read-only troubleshooting commands that behave identically on Windows, macOS, and Linux — so you stop juggling nslookup vs dig vs PowerShell cmdlets. It's a CLI and an importable Python library, is pure-Python (nothing to shell out to), and never phones home.

⚠️ Early development. Ships DNS and TLS diagnostics today; network / AD categories follow.

Install

pip install opskit            # once published
# or, from source:
git clone https://github.com/Prabhakar-cg/opskit && cd opskit
uv sync                       # or: pip install -e .

Everything lives under a single command; each category is a sub-command group:

opskit --help                 # top-level help
opskit dns --help             # the DNS command group
opskit dns lookup --help      # a specific command (grouped options + examples)

Commands

Each command group is self-contained and documented in its own README next to the code:

Command group	What it does	Docs
opskit dns	Read-only DNS diagnostics — forward/reverse lookups, multi-resolver diff, iterative trace, watch	dns/README.md
opskit tls	TLS verification — layered endpoint checks, certificate/chain inspection, expiry warnings, private-PKI trust	tls/README.md
opskit net	Network reachability — TCP/UDP port checks, ping-style probes, temporary metadata-only listener	net/README.md
opskit ad	Active Directory / LDAP diagnostics — account sign-in status, group membership (nested), directory/bind checks, object lookup (pip install "opskit[ad]")	ad/README.md

Quick taste of the DNS group:

opskit dns lookup example.com                    # A records, pretty table
opskit dns lookup example.com --all              # every common record type at once
opskit dns reverse 8.8.8.8                       # PTR (IP → hostname)
opskit dns lookup example.com --diff -s 1.1.1.1 -s 8.8.8.8   # compare resolvers

See the DNS command reference for every option, mode, and the importable Python API.

Why opskit

• One tool, every OS. Identical behavior and output on Windows, macOS, and Linux — no more remembering which flag nslookup uses versus dig versus Resolve-DnsName.
• CLI and library. Every capability is importable, typed, and API-first; the CLI is a thin client over it. Ships py.typed.
• Scriptable by design. A stable, versioned --json envelope, NDJSON --jsonl, and structured exit codes make it safe to build automation on.
• Read-only & private. Only performs the diagnostic you asked for; no telemetry, no phoning home, no offensive/abuse features.

Output & exit codes

Every command shares one output contract:

• Human (default): colorized tables, auto-plain when piped; honors NO_COLOR and --no-color.
• --json: a stable, versioned envelope (schema_version, command, query, result, error, elapsed_ms); an array for batches.
• --jsonl: NDJSON — one envelope per line, ideal for jq / streaming.
• Exit codes are documented and scriptable (0 success, 2 usage error, 7 partial, plus category-specific codes). See each command's README for the full table.

Development

Built to a high bar: src/ layout, uv, Ruff, mypy --strict + pyright, pytest with ≥90% coverage, and a hardened CI/CD pipeline (see docs/PLAN.md and the project constitution in .specify/memory/constitution.md).

uv sync --extra dev
uv run opskit dns lookup example.com     # run the CLI
uv run ruff format --check . && uv run ruff check .   # format + lint
uv run mypy && uv run pyright                         # types
uv run pytest                            # tests (coverage ≥ 90%)

These are exactly the gates CI runs on every pull request — see .github/workflows/ci.yml.

Contributions go through PRs into a protected main (squash-merge, Conventional Commits).

Security

Report vulnerabilities privately — see SECURITY.md. Every PR is gated by a full scanner suite (pip-audit, Ruff S, CodeQL, secret scanning, dependency review, SonarCloud, Snyk).
