Draw

Design toolkit for managing color palettes, generating swatches, mixing colors, creating gradients, previewing designs, and exporting results. A command-line companion for designers and front-end developers.

Commands

Command	Description
draw palette <input>	Create or log a color palette entry
draw preview <input>	Record a design preview note
draw generate <input>	Generate and log a design asset or concept
draw convert <input>	Log a color or format conversion
draw harmonize <input>	Record a color harmony analysis
draw contrast <input>	Log a contrast check result
draw export <input>	Log an export operation
draw random <input>	Record a random color or design generation
draw browse <input>	Log a browsing/discovery session
draw mix <input>	Record a color mixing result
draw gradient <input>	Log a gradient definition
draw swatch <input>	Record a color swatch entry
draw stats	Show summary statistics across all logs
draw export <fmt>	Export all data (json, csv, or txt)
draw search <term>	Search across all log files for a term
draw recent	Show the 20 most recent activity entries
draw status	Health check — version, disk usage, last activity
draw help	Show all available commands
draw version	Show current version

Each command without arguments displays the most recent 20 entries from its log file.

Data Storage

All data is stored in ~/.local/share/draw/:

• Per-command logs — palette.log, preview.log, generate.log, convert.log, harmonize.log, contrast.log, export.log, random.log, browse.log, mix.log, gradient.log, swatch.log
• Activity history — history.log (unified timeline of all actions)
• Exports — export.json, export.csv, or export.txt (generated on demand)

Data format: each entry is stored as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<value>, pipe-delimited for easy parsing.

Requirements

• Bash 4+ with set -euo pipefail
• Standard POSIX utilities (date, wc, du, head, tail, grep, cut, basename)
• No external dependencies or API keys required

When to Use

1. Building a color system — log palettes, harmonies, and contrast checks while designing a brand or UI theme
2. Prototyping design assets — generate swatches, gradients, and random color explorations for rapid iteration
3. Auditing accessibility — record contrast ratios and color harmony data for WCAG compliance reviews
4. Maintaining a design journal — track every color decision, mix experiment, and conversion over time
5. Exporting design data — export your full color and design history as JSON, CSV, or plain text for handoff to other tools

Examples

# Log a new palette
draw palette "#FF5733 #33FF57 #3357FF warm-sunset"

# Record a contrast check
draw contrast "bg:#FFFFFF fg:#333333 ratio:12.6:1 PASS"

# Mix two colors and log the result
draw mix "#FF0000 + #0000FF = #800080 purple"

# Generate a gradient definition
draw gradient "linear 90deg #000000 → #FFFFFF"

# Create a swatch entry
draw swatch "Coral #FF7F50 used in header CTA"

# Export all design data as JSON
draw export json

# Search all logs for a specific hex color
draw search "FF5733"

# View recent activity
draw recent

# Check overall status
draw status

Output

All command output goes to stdout. Redirect to a file if needed:

draw stats > design-report.txt
draw export csv
