Ecosystem — AI-native tools that pair with GNO

Structured development

Flow — Plan first, work second

Flow is a Claude Code plugin: research agents, gap analysis, then execution against a written plan.

Type: Claude Code pluginIntegrates via: Skills, agentsStatus: Released

Pairs with GNO

Flow's research agents can query GNO via the MCP server or the agent skill. The context-scout and repo-scout agents pair with `gno query` for local hybrid retrieval while Flow keeps the plan.

Omarchy shell plugin

GNO Recall — The index in your bar

Omarchy shell plugin for GNO: a quiet bar widget with index health, an anchored panel with counts and recent documents, and a keyboard-first overlay (Super+R) for search, deep search, and opening documents.

Type: Omarchy pluginIntegrates via: gno CLI + snapshotStatus: Released

Pairs with GNO

Recall reads the same local index every other surface uses. Summon the overlay, search or deep-search the corpus, and open the document without leaving the desktop.

Spreadsheet automation

sheets-cli — Google Sheets for humans and agents

Key-based updates, batch ops, JSON in and out. Installs as a skill for Claude Code and Codex.

Type: CLI + AI skillBuilt with: Bun + TypeScriptStatus: Released

Pairs with GNO

Export GNO search results to a tracking sheet. AI agents can query your knowledge base with GNO, then write structured findings to Google Sheets for downstream reporting or review.

gno query 'Q4 budget projections' --json | sheets-cli append --sheet 'Research Log'

gno similar doc.md --json | sheets-cli upsert --sheet 'Related' --key id

Email automation

outlookctl — Control Outlook from the command line

Local CLI bridge for Outlook Classic automation via COM. AI-assisted email and calendar management from Claude Code. No API keys, no OAuth — just your existing authenticated session.

Type: Windows CLI + AI skillBuilt with: Python + pywin32Status: Released

Pairs with GNO

Find the right context in your GNO index before drafting a reply. AI agents can query your knowledge base to surface the meeting note, decision doc, or policy before composing an email.

gno query 'authentication decision' --answer

outlookctl draft --to team@company.com --subject 'Auth approach'

The pattern

Independent repos.

They compose because they share local-first defaults, JSON I/O, CLI+skill surfaces, and one-job tools.

Local-first

Core workflows run on your machine. Any configured network service or publishing step is an explicit boundary.

JSON I/O

Structured input and output for automation. AI agents parse results reliably, humans pipe them with jq.

CLI + skills

Both human-usable at the terminal and AI-usable as a skill or MCP server. Same tool, two interfaces.

Composable

Pipe gno context build JSON into sheets-cli; draft from gno ask --verify with outlookctl.

Example workflow

Research to report, in four commands.

# 1. Compile one bounded evidence Capsule
gno context build "performance optimization" --collection notes --budget 12000 --json --output capsule.json

# 2. Write the evidence set to the tracking sheet
sheets-cli append --sheet Research --data @capsule.json

# 3. Generate only what the evidence supports
gno ask "what did we learn" --verify --show-sources

# 4. Draft the follow-up email
outlookctl draft --to lead@team.com --subject "Research"
