Show & Tell — AICT (AI-Friendly Unix Tools)

[ronak-create]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share something I’ve been building:

👉 https://github.com/synseqack/aict

AICT is a collection of Unix tools rebuilt in Go with one key idea:

Make them usable by AI agents without parsing messy terminal output.

What it does

• Reimplements tools like ls, grep, find, etc.
• Outputs structured data (XML/JSON)
• Designed for AI-first workflows
• Includes an MCP server for direct integration with tools like Claude/Cursor

Why it’s interesting

Instead of:

-rw-r--r--  1 user  staff  2048 Apr  6 main.go

You get:

<file name="main.go" size_bytes="2048" language="go"/>

No ambiguity. No parsing. Just data.

Would love to see

• If anyone tries this with their own AI workflows
• Feedback on usability
• Real-world use cases

Happy to answer anything or collaborate 🚀
