toolpoetry
Toolpoetry is a hypothetical, open-source framework designed to standardize the description, discovery, and execution of developer tools across software projects. It aims to decouple tooling from individual package managers by providing a language-agnostic manifest that captures tool identities, versions, and usage patterns, enabling reproducible toolchains.
Core concepts include a declarative manifest, a tool registry or index, and a runtime that can install,
Typical workflows involve creating or extending a manifest, resolving and installing tools locally, and generating shell
As a concept, toolpoetry sits within a broader movement toward tool lifecycle management and reproducible developer
