Local-first developer tools for Windows, Python, code analysis, API discovery, and Codex maintenance.
dev-bricks builds small, practical tools for software-development workflows: editing code, analyzing projects, probing owned APIs, and keeping local developer workspaces understandable without depending on heavy cloud platforms.

- Local first: project data, analysis results, and editor state stay on the user's machine by default.
- Small tools over platforms: each repository targets a concrete workflow instead of replacing an entire development stack.
- Windows pragmatism: desktop apps prioritize reliable local execution, predictable packaging, and low setup overhead.
- Clear boundaries: security-adjacent tools such as API discovery are documented for owned or explicitly authorized services.
- Readable automation: scripts, tests, and exports are kept understandable for both humans and LLM-assisted maintenance.
