Bob's CLI

Key Features

• •VaultBob Backup & Restore: Encrypted cloud backup, versioning, and restore system specifically for developers. Supports project context, source code, single-file surgical backup, and full machine migration via global backup. Backups are encrypted on-device before leaving via AWS infrastructure, with revision history and named archives for intentional checkpoints.
• •UserBob Digital Twin Simulation: Creates an autonomous AI proxy from your behavioral DNA, engineering philosophy, and communication style. The digital twin negotiates with Bob to accomplish missions defined by you, using satisfaction thresholds (SAT), resilience (RES), and convergence metrics. Commands include setting target, grading, stalemate, and divergence thresholds.
• •Autonomous Command Center: Interactive task board that displays pending, running, and completed tasks dispatched to Mini Bob. Provides full chain of custody from trigger to request to outcome. Allows setting global confidence thresholds and per-category overrides for autonomy. Supports live decision streaming and approval/denial of tasks directly from terminal.
• •Code Analysis & Auto-Fix: Production-grade QA review across entire codebase using 'bob analyse'. Identifies bugs, features, improvements, and upgrades with actionable implementation instructions. Supports auto-fix with safety constraints via 'bob analyse --auto'. Autonomous repair across entire codebase with 'bob autonomy' command.
• •Personalization Mode (Frank Reasoning Engine): Learns developer's working style including tone, pacing, depth, blind spots, and emotional state. Provides calibrated encouragement and adapts responses. Generates behavioral DNA profile via 'bob profile --cloud' and enables personalized chat with 'bob chat --personalized'.
• •SovereignLink Remote Execution: Allows remote execution from any device. Commands include 'bob serve' to start link, 'bob remote chat', 'bob remote backup', 'bob remote restore', 'bob remote index', and 'bob remote analyse'. Enables triggering backups and analyses on home machine from anywhere.

Use Cases

• •Refactoring a large service: A developer assigns UserBob the mission to refactor the auth service error handling. The digital twin autonomously negotiates with Bob, iterates on implementation, and dispatches tasks to Mini Bob for execution. The developer monitors progress via Command Center and approves final changes.
• •Pre-deployment code review: Before a major deployment, a developer runs 'bob analyse --auto' to perform a full QA review of the codebase. The tool identifies bugs, suggests improvements, and automatically applies fixes with safety constraints. The developer reviews the changes and deploys with confidence.
• •Machine migration: A developer switches to a new laptop and runs 'bob backup create --global' on the old machine to capture all projects, conversations, profiles, and analyses. On the new machine, 'bob backup restore --global' restores everything in minutes, ensuring zero context loss and immediate productivity.
• •Autonomous bug fixing: When a critical bug is discovered, a developer uses 'bob autonomy' to automatically scan the entire codebase, identify the bug's location, and apply a fix. The Command Center shows all changes made, and the developer approves the fix after reviewing the chain of custody.
• •Exploring a new algorithm: A developer uses 'bob deepdive' to sandbox explore a new sorting algorithm without affecting the main codebase. If successful, they fork the conversation into a sub-project. The deep dives and forks preserve context without polluting the main conversation history.

Who is this for?

Software developers and engineers who work in any terminal environment (VS Code, Android Studio, Windows Terminal, iTerm, PowerShell) and prioritize privacy, local-first tooling, and full control over their AI assistant. Backend and frontend developers, DevOps engineers, technical leads, indie hackers, and open-source contributors who want a senior-level AI engineering partner that runs on their hardware without sending code to the cloud. Teams that need encrypted backup and versioning built specifically for development workflows, and individuals who refuse vendor lock-in or token meters. Suitable for both solo developers and teams (with subscription plans) who value sovereignty and want an AI that learns their personal coding style over time.
