Tool Architecture

Script-Based Tools

Most tools are implemented as Nushell scripts for consistency with the main system:

• Easy integration with existing codebase
• Consistent configuration handling
• Native data structure support

Build Pipeline Integration

Tools integrate with common CI/CD systems:

• GitHub Actions
• GitLab CI
• Jenkins
• Custom automation

Configuration Management

Tools use the same configuration system as the main application:

• Unified settings
• Environment-specific overrides
• Secret management integration

Usage Examples

# Build the complete system
./tools/build/build-all.nu

# Package for distribution
./tools/package/create-standalone.nu --target linux

# Create a release
./tools/release/prepare-release.nu --version 4.0.0

# Generate distribution assets
./tools/distribution/generate-installer.nu --platform macos

Development Setup

1. Ensure all dependencies are installed
2. Configure build environment
3. Run initial setup scripts
4. Validate tool functionality

Integration

These tools integrate with:

• Main provisioning system
• Extension system
• Configuration management
• Documentation generation
