Cli

Fabric¹ is a collection of crowd-sourced prompts, exposed via a CLI tool. I used it for a while some time ago but never fully exploited it because I prefer Emacs.

Eshell buffers are an option, but I am principled in my tool usage and prefer to delegate longer-running CLI tasks to a combination of Alacritty and Tmux.

Maintaining my Emacs shell usage to ephemeral popups feels natural.

Gptel² is a versatile LLM client that integrates smoothly into my workflow (buffer/text manipulation and management) without disrupting my thought flow.

This is how I time my workblocks these days…

Functions

single_beep() {
( \speaker-test --frequency $1 --test sine )&
pid=$!
\sleep  0.${2}s
\kill -9 $pid
}

morse(){
for i in {1..3};
do
        single_beep 400 $1
        \sleep 0.${2}s
done
}

sos() {
    morse 200 500
    morse 400 500
    morse 200 500
}

timer() {
    \sleep $1 && sos &
}

Usage

The above can be sourced in your shell rc.
I store it in a .bash_funcs where I have all my functions and source them in the end of my rc as source ~/.bash_funcs.
