Auge

Observe... and reshape the visual world line.

Auge – a command-line apparatus for image manipulation, forged in the fires of Rust. Designed for seamless integration into the data streams of Unix-style pipelines, it can even project its results directly onto compatible observer interfaces (terminals supporting iTerm/Kitty protocols).

Capabilities

• Reality Alteration Protocols: A growing collection including Grayscale, Gaussian Blur, Dotart, Dynthres, Resize, Invert, and more yet to be uncovered.
• Temporal Data Streams: Reads from stdin and writes to stdout, enabling the chaining of alterations in sequence.
• Interface Perception: Automatically detects the terminal's display capabilities (iTerm/Kitty), reverting to a blocky representation if the necessary protocols aren't supported.
• Format Spectrum: Handles a wide range of input and output data formats.

Known Data Formats

Acquiring the Apparatus

Pre-compiled instances for Windows (x86_64) and Linux (x86_64, aarch64) await in the designated release zone.

Alternatively, synchronize via the Cargo package manager:

bash
# Initiate synchronization sequence
cargo install --git https://github.com/metdxt/auge

Operating Instructions

Once synchronized, consult the internal knowledge base via auge --help and auge <command> --help to understand the available operations.

Example Scenario: Altering a Visual Sequence

bash
# Input image undergoes grayscale transformation,
# followed by Gaussian blur (strength 3),
# finally materializing as output.png.
auge -i input.png grayscale | auge g-blur -s 3 > output.png

The image's world line has been shifted. Chain other protocols similarly to achieve desired realities.
