Omniscient – Never forget a CLI command again (AI-assisted, local-only)

I built Omniscient, a command history tracker for your shell. It captures every command you run, categorizes them intelligently, and makes them instantly searchable across machine migrations. *What it does:* - Captures every shell command with zero overhead (<10ms) - Auto-categorizes by command type (git, docker, npm, etc.) - Full-text search through your entire history - NEW in v1.2.0: Contextual queries - filter commands by directory (`omniscient here`) - Export/import for syncing across machines - Privacy-first: automatic redaction of passwords/tokens *Example:* ```bash # What git commands did I use in this project? omniscient here --recursive | grep git # How did I deploy the backend last time? omniscient search deploy --dir ~/services/backend # What's my most-used docker command? omniscient top 10 | grep docker ``` *The AI elephant in the room:* Yes, this was built with AI assistance (Claude). I know that raises trust questions for a tool that captures your command history. Here's how I addressed that: 1. *100% Open Source*: Every line is auditable (https://github.com/daneb/omniscient https://github.com/daneb/omniscient) 2. *91 Automated Tests*: Comprehensive test coverage 3. *Zero Network Calls*: Grep the source yourself - all data stays local 4. *Security Audits*: cargo-audit on every commit 5. *Architecture Decision Records*: All major decisions documented 6. *Human Review*: Every AI-generated line was reviewed and validated The AI helped with implementation, but humans made all architectural decisions, wrote tests, and validated everything. Full transparency: CONTRIBUTING.md documents the development process. *Tech stack:* Rust, SQLite FTS5, zero dependencies on external services *Privacy:* Everything stored in `~/.omniscient/`. No telemetry, no analytics, no network calls. You can audit the code yourself.
