A command line for rustbook.

rustbook is a single pure-Go binary. It reads public rustbook data over plain HTTPS, shapes it into clean records, and prints output that pipes into the rest of your tools. No API key, nothing to run alongside it.

The same package is also a resource-URI driver, so a host program like ant can address rustbook as rustbook:// URIs.

go install github.com/tamnd/rustbook-cli/cmd/rustbook@latest

Or grab a prebuilt binary from the releases, or run the container image:

docker run --rm ghcr.io/tamnd/rustbook:latest --help

rustbook page <path>                      # fetch one page as a record
rustbook page <path> -o json              # as JSON, ready for jq
rustbook page <path> --template '{{.Body}}'  # just the readable body text
rustbook links <path>                     # the pages it links to, one per line
rustbook --help                           # the whole command tree

Every command shares one output contract: -o table|json|jsonl|csv|tsv|url|raw, --fields to pick columns, --template for a custom line, and -n to limit. The default adapts to where output goes (a table on a terminal, JSONL in a pipe), so the same command reads well by hand and parses cleanly downstream.

This is a fresh scaffold. It ships one example resource type, page, wired end to end. Model the real rustbook records in rustbook/ and declare their operations in rustbook/domain.go; each one becomes a command, an HTTP route, and an MCP tool at once.

The same operations are available over HTTP and as an MCP tool set for agents, with no extra code:

rustbook serve --addr :7777    # GET /v1/page/<path>  returns NDJSON
rustbook mcp                   # speak MCP over stdio

rustbook registers a rustbook domain the way a program registers a database driver with database/sql. A host enables it with one blank import:

import _ "github.com/tamnd/rustbook-cli/rustbook"

Then ant (or any program that links the package) dereferences rustbook:// URIs without knowing anything about rustbook:

ant get rustbook://page/<path>   # fetch the record
ant cat rustbook://page/<path>   # just the body text
ant ls  rustbook://page/<path>   # the pages it links to, each addressable
ant url rustbook://page/<path>   # the live https URL

cmd/rustbook/   thin main: hands cli.NewApp to kit.Run
cli/                 assembles the kit App from the rustbook domain
rustbook/                the library: HTTP client, data models, and domain.go (the driver)
