Getting Started

Prerequisites

rmbr runs on Bun, a fast JavaScript runtime. Install Bun before proceeding:

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/rafbcampos/rmbr.git
cd rmbr
bun install

bun install automatically registers the rmbr command on your PATH via bun link, so you can use it from anywhere in your terminal.

First Run

Create your first todo and list it:

rmbr todo add "My first todo"
rmbr todo list

rmbr automatically creates its SQLite database at ~/.rmbr/rmbr.db on first run. No configuration or setup is needed.

Quick Tour of Modules

rmbr ships with seven built-in modules. Here is one example command for each:

Todos

Track tasks and action items.

rmbr todo add "Review pull request for auth service"

Goals

Capture objectives and attach STAR narratives for performance reviews.

rmbr goal add "Reduce API latency by 30%"

Kudos

Record praise and recognition you give or receive.

rmbr kudos add "Sara debugged the production outage in 20 minutes"

TIL (Today I Learned)

Store things you learn as searchable entries.

rmbr til add "Bun supports SQLite natively via bun:sqlite"

Study

Track topics you want to study or are actively studying.

rmbr study add "Distributed consensus algorithms"

Slack

Ingest and store important Slack messages for later reference.

rmbr slack ingest "Deploy went smoothly, zero downtime" --channel "#engineering"

Tags

Tag any entity from any module for cross-cutting organization.

rmbr tag add "urgent" todo 1
