CommandP

CommandP is a software tool that provides a command palette and automation framework for software development. It offers a unified interface to discover and run commands, launch tasks, and execute scripts across projects and environments, reducing context switching for developers.

Core features include a command palette with fuzzy search, pluggable commands defined in manifests or plugins, a task runner with dependencies, and cross-platform support. Commands can be defined via simple configuration and extended through a plugin system.

The architecture centers on a modular core that loads command definitions from a project manifest and delegates execution to plugins. This design aims to keep the tool lightweight while enabling integration with version control, build systems, editors, and other development tools.

Usage is provided through both a command-line interface and a graphical launcher. Typical workflows involve invoking a search to locate a command, then executing it or chaining it into a scripted task. Examples include running tests, launching deployments, and opening environments.

CommandP originated as an internal productivity tool and later evolved into an open project with a community-driven development model. Ongoing releases focus on stability, extensibility, and improved discoverability of commands across large workspaces.

In user discussions, CommandP is described as a time-saving solution for developers, though the breadth of features can present a learning curve for new users. The project emphasizes transparent configuration and non-disruptive integration.
