About littlescripts.sh

littlescripts.sh is an AI-discoverable index of command-line tools. It provides structured, machine-readable metadata about CLI tools so that AI agents, LLMs, and developer tools can understand what each tool does, when to use it, and how it fits into command-line workflows.

Why?

AI coding assistants frequently need to recommend or use CLI tools, but they often lack up-to-date, structured knowledge about what tools exist and when each is appropriate. littlescripts.sh bridges this gap by providing curated, schema-validated metadata in formats that both humans and machines can consume.

For Humans

  • + Browse and discover CLI tools by category
  • + Search across all indexed tools
  • + See install commands for every package manager
  • + Learn usage patterns and typical pipelines

For AI Agents

  • + AGENTS.md - Structured agent instructions per tool
  • + llms.txt - LLM-friendly plain text index
  • + JSON API - Machine-readable tool data
  • + Per-tool AGENTS.md files with capabilities, usage patterns, and pipelines

CLI

Install the littlescripts CLI to search and query tools from your terminal: 

curl -fsSL https://littlescripts.sh/install | sh

Then use littlescripts search <query> to find tools, or littlescripts info <tool> to view tool details.
