GitHub Actions won't tell you your CI is getting worse. I built a zero-dep CLI that does.

The same root cause keeps coming back because nobody tracks it. I built a zero-dep CLI that does.

branchreap: safely reap merged & gone-upstream git branches (zero-dep, npx or pip)

My code reviewer kept asking for JSDoc — so I built a zero-dep CLI that catches it first

I built a zero-dep CLI that finds unused dependencies — and is wrong less often than depcheck

npm audit cries wolf. I built a zero-dep CLI that tells you what to actually fix

git branch -d is fine — until the day you delete the wrong one

Your dev stack is 4 terminal tabs. It could be one labeled stream.
