Script Kit: The Ultimate Open Source Dev Kit
summary
Script Kit is a JavaScript/TypeScript toolkit that creates runnable scripts as files, exposes them as terminal commands and a GUI, and maps them to global shortcuts, a stream deck button, or menu bar items. Demos show ARG argument parsing, an npm helper that auto-installs Faker JS, a VS Code extension with instant edit→run feedback, a file watcher rotates PNGs using jimp to flip images and write to an out folder, and an “audience” bot built from OpenAI + Microsoft Speech + AppleScript that generates and plays audio — all working live.
