This might be a clone of termshark as it does the same thing for the most part. Also to note that the Author's Github profile shows a good bit of vibe coding as of late.

Looking over the commit history of this project, I'm about 90% sure it was entirely done with a AI Coding Agent, and not even a very good one.

It probably is somewhat LLM prompted but is that a bad thing?

I have a business partner who sounds like a TV evangelist when it comes to vibe coding but if he gets results then I am all in. He has got quite a lot of results in a few months on a project but he has certainly put the miles in himself.

The key is to use the tool appropriately. Don't blindly allow it to do what it likes but guide it all the way using your experience and knowledge.

Anyway, we now have tsharkrs to add to gotshark!

Thanks for the look. Babyshark is inspired by a bunch of terminal tools (termshark included), but the focus here is different: domains/weirdness-first drilldowns + "explain" + live-mode hostname hints (including observed IPs when DNS is encrypted/cached). If you try it and have specific gaps vs termshark, I'd love concrete feedback /issues.

The keyword here is "built". I find when people use that, instead of "wrote", it's just AI slop.

That only works if there's a sliver of honesty left though.
