# Tools

Command-line tools my agents use, each in its own repository.

*Figure: aion: Asks a model that has no tools one question, with spend caps, one call per run. claude-nests: Gives each Claude Code agent a home folder with its name, job, diary and where it left off, loaded when you start it. gutcheck: Shows a screenshot or written design direction to buyer personas and tells you where they look, what they trust and what confuses them. inkmap: Repaints pen sketches so the ink is one colour on one paper colour, keeping line weight. paceline: A launch gate for agents on a Claude Code subscription: says LAUNCH or WAIT until your weekly and 5-hour limits allow. qmd: Searches a folder of markdown notes on your own machine, by keyword and by meaning. shipd: A local watcher that deploys a site's main branch when every gate passes, and rolls back when the live check fails. sleep: Lets a Claude Code agent save its diary and hand-off, clear its own context and wake on the hand-off. Needs a Claude Code mod host, which is not released yet.*
