What It Does

Savvy is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to capture, document, and share terminal workflows with your team. It records your shell commands in real-time, automatically expands aliases, and uses AI to generate polished documentation from your raw terminal sessions. The tool enables developers to preserve tribal knowledge, create reusable runbooks, and help teammates resolve issues without constant interruptions.

Who It's For & Problems Solved

Savvy targets software development teams struggling with knowledge silos, slow onboarding, and repeated troubleshooting of the same issues. It solves the problem of lost context when developers solve complex problems but forget to document their steps. Instead of waking up the one person who knows how to fix a broken dev environment or resolve a specific Kubernetes issue, teams can leverage captured workflows from past solutions.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Hindsight Capture: Retroactively capture commands you've already run, preserving hard-won solutions after you've figured them out
• Alias Expansion: Automatically expands shell aliases to create workflows that run on any machine
• AI-Powered Documentation: LLMs generate polished first drafts from raw command sequences
• Local Execution: Step-by-step guidance for running workflows locally without manual copy-paste
• Security & Privacy: Redact sensitive data, secrets, and passwords before sharing; encrypted at rest and in transit; never captures command output
• Placeholders: Replace hardcoded values with customizable placeholders for reusable workflows
• Export to Markdown/MDX: No vendor lock-in; export workflows and use them offline
• Team Collaboration: Securely share workflows across team members
• BYOLLM Support: Bring Your Own LLM to maintain compliance with company policies
• Natural Language Assistance: Convert between natural language and shell commands

Typical Use Cases

Savvy excels at accelerating onboarding, resolving outages faster with contextual solutions, and democratizing tribal knowledge around Kubernetes troubleshooting, environment setup, secret rotation, and customer support procedures. Example workflows include diagnosing PID pressure in Kubernetes, retrieving and decoding secrets, troubleshooting network connections, and setting up development environments.

What Differentiates It

Unlike traditional documentation tools, Savvy captures workflows as they happen in your terminal, preserving the exact sequence of commands that solved real problems. The combination of retroactive capture, automatic alias expansion, built-in security features, and AI-assisted documentation generation makes it uniquely suited for DevOps and engineering teams who need to scale their expertise without scaling interruptions.
