x-zuz - Unified Archive/Compression (AI Optimized)

x-zuz is a powerful archive processing module. Its core advantages are a unified interface and zero-dependency auto-installation (it automatically handles missing backends like 7zip or zstd).

Core Aliases

• x z: Alias for compression (zuz compress)
• x uz: Alias for decompression (zuz decompress)

When to Activate

• When multiple files or directories need to be packed into a specific format.
• When extracting any common archive format (zip, tar.gz, 7z, etc.).
• When listing the contents of an archive without extracting it.
• When extracting and immediately deleting the source file to save space.

Core Principles & Rules

• Non-interactive First: Avoid interactive UIs; use command parameters directly.
• Universal Interface: No need to remember different extraction commands (like tar -zxvf or unzip); use x uz for everything.
• Environment Isolation: Automatically downloads required backends, ensuring operation in any minimal environment.

Patterns & Examples

Quick Compression

# Compress the 'src' directory into output.tar.gz
x z output.tar.gz src/

# Compress multiple files into a zip
x z archive.zip file1.txt file2.txt

Quick Extraction

# Extract to the current directory
x uz archive.zip

# Extract to a specific directory
x uz backup.tar.xz ./target_dir/

View Archive Contents (Non-interactive)

# List files inside an archive
x zuz ls archive.7z

Extract and Delete Source (Cleanup Mode)

# Ideal for handling temporary downloads
x uzr data.zip

Checklist

• Prioritize using aliases x z or x uz.
• Confirm the target path exists.
• Consider using x uzr for automatic cleanup.
