tspub all in one TypeScript package toolkit

It combines build, validation, auto-fix and a guarded publish pipeline (5 prereq gates + automatic rollback) into one zero-config CLI — run check --fix, then publish and hope is replaced by gates. The plugin system, repo scanner and the fact it 'builds itself' (esbuild ESM/CJS + .d.ts) make it feel pragmatic and production-minded, though much of the value is orchestration of existing tools rather than a brand new compiler-level trick.

API-pilot – deterministic API key resolution with runtime validation

Deterministic fallback order (ENV → .env → vault) plus an opt-in validation mode and a strict CI-friendly option is a practical combo I wish I'd had in several projects. The doctor CLI that lists found keys and minimal provider probes (e.g., GET /v1/models for OpenAI) is a nice touch — useful for catching bad tokens before a pipeline runs. It’s not reinventing secret managers, but the zero-deps, stdlib-only approach and CI strictness make it an immediately usable tool for small teams.
