Insight Apps: 50 TypeScript CLI Tools for the AI-Native Developer Workflow

Built in a single session using a Codex (GPT-5.3) swarm coordinated by Claude Code. Each tool is a standalone TypeScript CLI with tests, structured logging, and clean architecture. Here's how they weave into a daily workflow.

Morning: Start the Day

1. Bootstrap & Orient

# Launch the TUI to see all available tools
agent-launcher

# Check health across all your projects
health-checker --json | jq '.projects[] | select(.status != "healthy")'

# Load task-aware context for today's focus area
context-loader --task "implement auth middleware" --top 10

Tools used: agent-launcher, health-checker, context-loader

2. Review What Happened Overnight

# Parse last night's CI logs for anomalies
log-analyzer analyze --file ./deploy.log --format ndjson --json

# Check session analytics from yesterday's Claude sessions
session-analytics --range 1d --format markdown

# Review any deploy regressions
deploy-monitor --project my-app --since yesterday

Tools used: log-analyzer, session-analytics, deploy-monitor

Before Coding: Plan & Prepare

3. Decompose Today's Task

# Break a complex task into parallelizable subtasks
task-decomposer --task "Add OAuth login, write tests, update API docs, deploy to staging" --pretty

# Visualize your workflow DAG
workflow-viz graph --workflow ./today-tasks.json

# Check your token budget before loading context
token-counter ./src --task "auth middleware" --budget 200000 --top 20

Tools used: task-decomposer, workflow-viz, token-counter

4. Set Up the Environment

# Sync .env with Vercel environment variables
env-manager sync --from vercel --project my-app

# Validate all config files before starting
config-validator --json .

# Generate a fresh CLAUDE.md for the project
claude-md-gen --scan . --output CLAUDE.md

Tools used: env-manager, config-validator, claude-md-gen

During Development: Code with Confidence

5. Write Code with Guard Rails

# Watch files and auto-run builds + tests on change
file-watcher --rule "source:src/**/*.ts:rebuild,retest" --rule "styles:**/*.css:lint" --debounce 300

# Monitor scope drift in your Claude session
scope-sentinel --task "implement auth" --session current

# Guard against deprecated API usage
api-guardian scan --path ./src --report deprecations.md

Tools used: file-watcher, scope-sentinel, api-guardian

6. The Verify-Fix Loop

# Run the full Rust + TypeScript verify chain
verify-loop --rust-dir ./core --ts-dir ./web --fix-suggestions

# Generate missing test scaffolds
test-gen --path ./src/auth --edge-cases --output ./test/auth

# Check for secrets before they hit git
secret-scanner scan ./src

Tools used: verify-loop, test-gen, secret-scanner

7. Refactor Safely

# Coordinate a parallel refactor across module boundaries
refactor-agent --strategy hybrid --interactive

# Visualize dependency graph to understand impact
dep-graph --path . --output graph.dot --format ascii

# Bridge types between Rust and TypeScript
type-bridge rust-to-ts --input ./core/src/models.rs --output ./web/src/models.ts --watch

Tools used: refactor-agent, dep-graph, type-bridge

8. Debug Agent Issues

# Trace decision paths in a Claude session
agent-debugger trace --session ./session.jsonl

# Replay a session step-by-step to find where it went wrong
session-replayer replay ./failed-session.jsonl --instant

# Profile session performance
perf-profiler --session ./session.jsonl --report perf.md

Tools used: agent-debugger, session-replayer, perf-profiler

Committing: Clean Git History

9. Stage, Split, Commit

# Split a massive diff into logical, reviewable commits
commit-splitter --strategy hybrid --interactive --execute

# Auto-generate smart commit messages
git-flow-agent commit --auto-message

# Take a named snapshot before risky changes
snapshot-manager save --name "pre-refactor" --message "before auth overhaul"

Tools used: commit-splitter, git-flow-agent, snapshot-manager

10. Review Before Push

# AI-powered diff review
diff-reviewer --staged --json

# Scan git history for leaked secrets
secret-scanner history --max-commits 50

# Validate the changelog is up to date
doc-sync check --readme --api-docs --changelog

Tools used: diff-reviewer, secret-scanner, doc-sync

Pull Requests & Deployment

11. Create the PR

# Auto-generate PR description from branch commits
pr-composer --labels --screenshots --diff-inline

# Generate changelog entry
changelog-gen --from main --format markdown --ai-summary

# Ensure CI workflows exist and are correct
ci-generator --project . --dry-run

Tools used: pr-composer, changelog-gen, ci-generator

12. Monitor the Deploy

# Watch the Vercel deployment
deploy-monitor --project my-app --follow --health-checks

# Run batch verification across all projects
batch-runner --config verify-all.yml --concurrency 4

# Sync environment variables to production
env-manager sync --to vercel --project my-app --env production

Tools used: deploy-monitor, batch-runner, env-manager

Managing Multiple Projects

13. Workspace Orchestration

# Switch between projects with auto-detection
workspace-manager switch my-other-project

# Run tasks across a DAG of dependent projects
task-orchestrator run --config pipeline.yml --dashboard

# Manage multiple Claude sessions simultaneously
multi-claude --dashboard --stall-detection 120

Tools used: workspace-manager, task-orchestrator, multi-claude

Weekly Maintenance

14. Keep Things Healthy

# Extract coding patterns for team standards
pattern-extractor ./src --output pattern-report.md

# Generate a navigable codebase map
codebase-map --path . --complexity --exports --browser

# Check for API migrations needed
migration-helper scan --path ./src --apply --report migration.md

# Validate and rotate environment secrets

#   .gitignore, .gitmessage, vercel.json, package.json, tsconfig.json,
#   src/index.ts, rust/Cargo.toml, rust/src/main.rs
