.lndf Distillation (CLI only)

mon ld              # generate project snapshot from git + package.json + npm test
mon lv              # view current .lndf
mon lv --reindex    # build SQLite index from hako/ frontmatter
mon lv --tag sql    # search hako by tag
mon lv --after 2026-03  # search hako by date
mon lv --stats      # show hako index statistics
mon lc              # generate + copy to clipboard

Generates a minimal project state file (.lndf/current.lndf) designed for LLM context injection. See LNDF for the philosophy.

Debug Distillation (v0.5.2)

mon ld automatically runs npm test if scripts.test exists in package.json:

• test:pass — all tests passing
• test:fail + error:<stderr tail> — tests failing, status becomes debugging
• test:timeout — tests exceeded 30s, status becomes debugging
• No scripts.test → fields omitted (Defaults Are Silence)

Cross-Project Source Collection (CLI only)

mon lp create myproj       # create a project in ~/.mon/projects/
mon lp add myproj file.js  # add a source to the project
mon lp view myproj         # list sources with preview
mon lp dump myproj         # concatenate all sources for LLM context
mon lp list                # list all projects

Aggregate source files across projects for LLM context injection.

Architecture

mon-cli imports shared commands from the mon-tab npm package. Chrome-only commands (like rem) are not available in CLI.
