"Break free from corporate toolchain tyranny. Your code, your tools, your rules."

Every day, developers surrender their autonomy to corporate overlords who:

• 🔒 Lock you in with proprietary ecosystems
• 💰 Extract rent from your productivity
• 👁️ Surveil your workflow for profit
• 🧱 Build walls between your tools
• ⛓️ Chain you to their platforms

We said "NO MORE."

Conduit is the liberation platform that puts YOU back in control. It's not just a CLI tool—it's a declaration of independence from the corporate toolchain industrial complex.

Because you'll finally stop complaining about your dev tools.

No more:

• "The deployment pipeline is down AGAIN"
• "I can't remember where I put that code snippet"
• "Why does this simple tool cost $50/month?"
• "I wish I could just automate this stupid thing"

Instead:

• "I built a component for that"
• "Let me share my liberation toolkit with you"
• "This just works, every time"
• "I control my entire development stack"

Happy developer = happy family. Liberation mathematics checks out. ✅

# No corporate gatekeepers. No marketplace rent-seeking.
# Pure GitHub-powered discovery of community tools.
conduit discover

📦 Found 9 liberation tools:
• spotify - Control your music, not Spotify's clunky app
• github-zero - Enhanced GitHub workflows and automation  
• docker - Escape Docker Desktop subscription hell
• knowledge - Own your learning instead of renting it

# One command. Infinite possibilities. Zero corporate approval.
conduit install jordanpartridge/conduit-spotify

✅ Liberated! Now you have:
• spotify:play, spotify:search, spotify:focus
• Full music control during development
• No more alt-tabbing to that terrible desktop app

# Because you DO own your tools now
conduit spotify:play --song "Revolution" --artist "The Beatles"
conduit docker:deploy --env production --no-downtime  
conduit knowledge:add "Just liberated another developer!" --tags="victory,freedom"

# Your workflow. Your rules. Your liberation.

Conduit's core is intentionally minimal - a liberation platform, not a monolithic prison:

🔧 Minimal Core (~500KB)      🌟 Infinite Liberation
├── Discovery Engine      →   ├── 🎵 spotify (music freedom)
├── Security Validator    →   ├── 🐳 docker (container liberation) 
├── Component Manager     →   ├── 🧠 knowledge (learning ownership)
└── Delegation System     →   ├── 🐙 github-zero (git workflows)
                              └── your-component (your solution)

The platform grows with YOUR needs, not some corporate product manager's roadmap.

Unlike corporate tools that phone home with your data, Conduit's security protects YOUR autonomy:

• ✅ Local validation - Nothing phones home, ever
• ✅ Process isolation - Components can't spy on each other
• ✅ Path sandboxing - No sneaky filesystem access
• ✅ Input sanitization - Injection-proof by design
• ✅ Binary integrity - No malicious code execution

Your code stays on YOUR machine. Revolutionary concept, right?

Corporate developer tools are extraction machines designed to:

1. Vendor Lock-in → You become dependent on their ecosystem
2. Data Harvesting → They monetize YOUR code patterns and behavior
3. Artificial Scarcity → They gate basic features behind paywalls
4. Surveillance Capitalism → Your workflow becomes their product
5. Platform Dependency → Leaving becomes prohibitively expensive

• Docker Desktop: Now requires subscriptions for basic business use
• Slack: Holds your chat history hostage behind paywalls
• Notion: Locks you into their proprietary format
• VS Code: Telemetry collection despite being "free"
• Cloud IDEs: Your code lives on their servers, not yours

They profit from YOUR productivity while limiting YOUR capabilities.

Note: GitHub, while corporate-owned, remains a valuable platform that developers rely on. Conduit enhances GitHub workflows rather than replacing them, giving you more control over how you interact with your repositories.

• 🔓 Tool Independence - Use what works, not what's marketed
• 🏠 Data Sovereignty - Your code patterns stay yours
• 🚀 Innovation Without Permission - Build solutions, don't ask for features
• 🌍 Community Over Shareholders - Developers helping developers
• ⚡ Compound Value - Tools that get better together, not more expensive
