I'm not intending to denigrate your tool. I'm just commenting on the "look at how we go full circle" aspect.
I will point out that the shell script way uses less resources than an LLM making a tool call. But I understand that these scenarios are not necessarily meant for the same user.
No offense taken, I can see the irony myself :)
Oh for sure, I would prefer to have the automations as invisible things running at the system level, doing exactly what I want and nothing else, not wasting resources on UIs and event watchers I might not need. I would get rid of my own apps if that was easy to do.
But it seems we need to waste some resources to get some usability in return.
This is how engineers end up justifying why my doorbell needs to contact the cloud to confirm it should run when someone is at my door.
