Commands

• taku new <name> [--template/-t <name>] - Create a new script from template
• taku list - List all scripts, add -t to also list templates
• taku get <name> - Show script details

Configuration

Set the scripts directory:

export TAKU_SCRIPTS=~/my-scripts

Default: ~/scripts

Templates

Create templates in <scripts-dir>/.templates/ and use with:

taku new myapp --template python

Template resolution order:

1. <scripts-dir>/.templates/<template-name>
2. ./<template-name> (current directory)

Templates can use ${script_name} variable for substitution.

Example Python template (~/.scripts/.templates/python):

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = []
# ///


def main() -> None:
    print("Hello from $script_name!")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Git Integration

If your scripts directory is a Git repository, taku will automatically commit and push changes whenever you edit or remove scripts. This keeps your changes synced, but to complete the auto-sync feature you also need to set up each machine to regularly pull the latest scripts.

1. Open your crontab:

   crontab -e
   

2. Add a line to pull updates every 15 minutes (adjust the path to your scripts directory):

   */15 * * * * cd /home/tobi/scripts && git pull --rebase >/dev/null 2>&1
