Capsula is a command-line tool that automatically captures and saves information about your command executions. It records what happened, when it happened, and the environment in which it happened.
## What Does Capsula Do?
When you run a command with Capsula, it:
1. **Records the environment** - Captures git state, environment variables, file contents, and system information
2. **Runs your command** - Executes your command normally, capturing its output
3. **Saves everything** - Stores all captured data in an organized directory structure
## Quick Example
Create a `capsula.toml` file:
```toml
[vault]
name = "my-project"
[[pre-run.hooks]]
id = "capture-git-repo"
name = "my-project"
path = "."
[[post-run.hooks]]
id = "capture-file"
glob = "output.txt"
mode = "copy"
```
Run your command:
```bash
capsula run python train_model.py
```
Capsula creates an organized directory:
```
.capsula/my-project/2025-01-09/143022-happy-river/
├── _capsula/
│ ├── metadata.json # What ran, when, and where
│ ├── pre-run.json # Environment before
│ ├── command.json # Command output
│ └── post-run.json # Results after
└── output.txt # Your output file
```
## Why Use Capsula?
- **Reproducibility** - Capture the exact environment and inputs for every run
- **Traceability** - Know which code version produced which results
- **Auditing** - Generate complete execution records
- **Debugging** - Understand what went wrong by reviewing the complete context
