In vampire lore, a creature of the night cannot cross your threshold unless you invite it in. In software, running curl | bash blind is throwing open the bedroom window in the dark.
Look through the glass first with less:
curl -fsSL https://sunpug.io | less
Nothing runs. Nothing touches your disk. Put your right hand on the home row: press j to scroll down, k to scroll up, and q to step back out to your command line.
When you have read the contract and are ready to invite the Sun Pug in:
curl -fsSL https://sunpug.io | bash
Take a human-actuated Software Von Neumann Probe (SVNP) built on the timeless four-letter bedrock of Nix, Python, vim, and git (NPvg). Overlap the shared NP to get SVNPvg, soften the Latin Vs into vowels, and you get SUNPug—with the Classical Latin pugio (pug.io, the Roman legionary's sidearm dagger) hidden in the domain.
Every cloud chatbot tab is an energy vampire that drains your focus and forgets your project the moment the window closes. Sun Pug moves your AI workflow out of disposable browser tabs and onto your local disk as plain text:
x (context) — list the exact files and live ! commands the model should see.p (prompt) — capture your question from the clipboard.c (compile) — bundle your files, live receipts, and discussion history into your clipboard while sealing a verifiable SHA-256 archive deed on disk.Paste that compiled payload into any model—Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or a local LLM—and own your transcript for life.
