gtb - Project Gutenberg CLI Browser

The gtb module provides an interface for Project Gutenberg, allowing users to search through its archive of free eBooks, view text content, and access metadata from the CLI.

When to Activate

  • When the user wants to search for classic books or authors (e.g., Shakespeare, Dumas).
  • When reading the full text of a public domain book in the terminal.
  • When accessing book metadata or viewing books in a web browser via CLI.

Core Principles & Rules

  • Text-First: Optimized for retrieving and viewing raw text content (txt subcommand).
  • Interactive TUI: Use show for an interactive reading experience.
  • Search Support: Leverages DuckDuckGo for broader queries related to Gutenberg content.

Patterns & Examples

Checklist

  • Confirm if the user has a specific book ID or needs to perform a search.
