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
INLINECODE0	Create or log a color palette entry
INLINECODE1

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, INLINECODE31
• 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 INLINECODE37
• Standard POSIX utilities (date, wc, du, head, tail, grep, cut, basename)
• No external dependencies or API keys required

When to Use

1. 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
