📖 cartulary
The knowledge layer of your project — decisions, issues, docs, all in one place.
⚠️ Status: Alpha —
cartularyis under active development. The CLI surface andcartulary.tomlschema may change in incompatible ways before1.0. Pin a specific version (--version "0.1.0-alpha.1") and watchCHANGELOG.mdbefore upgrading.
cartulary is a CLI tool to manage everything that gives context to your project: Architecture Decision Records (ADR), Design Decision Records (DDR), issues, and project documentation. Everything lives as plain Markdown in your repository.
📚 Documentation
- Concepts — the domain vocabulary, one page per concept:
docs/pages/concepts/. Same content offline viacartu man <name>. - CLI reference — every subcommand and flag:
docs/pages/reference/cli/. - Configuration — the
cartulary.tomlschema:docs/pages/reference/config/. - Workflows — built-in status presets and the decision-record lifecycle:
docs/pages/reference/workflows/.
🚀 Installation
Pre-built binary (recommended)
Download the archive for your platform from the GitLab Releases page. One-liner for Linux x86_64:
VERSION="0.1.0-alpha.1"
TARGET="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
curl -fsSL "https://gitlab.com/crazy-crafters/cartulary/-/releases/v${VERSION}/downloads/cartu-${VERSION}-${TARGET}.tar.gz" \
| tar -xz -C /tmp
mv /tmp/cartu ~/.local/bin/cartu
Available targets: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, x86_64-pc-windows-gnu. macOS users compile from source via cargo install (next section). Verify the archive against the SHA256SUMS file attached to the same release.
For Windows: download cartu-{version}-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.zip, unzip, place cartu.exe on your PATH.
Via cargo binstall (no compilation)
If you have cargo-binstall:
cargo binstall cartulary --version "0.1.0-alpha.1"
cartulary ships a [package.metadata.binstall] block pointing at the GitLab Release artefacts — binstall picks the right archive for your platform.
Via cargo install (compile from source)
cargo install cartulary --version "0.1.0-alpha.1"
Compiles from the published crate on crates.io. Requires Rust 1.88+ via rustup.rs.
Build from source (contributors)
git clone https://gitlab.com/crazy-crafters/cartulary
cd cartulary
cargo install --path .
Requires Rust 1.88+. Beyond rustc/cargo, the dev workflow expects just (recipe runner) and cargo-llvm-cov (coverage). Nix users get them automatically via the flake (nix develop); other contributors should install them manually:
cargo install --locked just cargo-llvm-cov
rustup component add llvm-tools-preview
⚡ 30-second tour
cartu init # scaffold cartulary.toml + docs/
cartu adr new "Use PostgreSQL as primary database" # record an architecture decision
cartu issue new --tag flow:feature "Add MFA" # open an issue
cartu issue list
cartu check # validate frontmatter, links, transitions
cartu man # browse concept docs
cartu site build --out site # static HTML site with syntax-highlighted code

The market is split: ADR tools have no issue tracking, issue trackers have no decision records. cartulary covers both, plus flow metrics, structural validation, and a TSID-based identifier scheme that survives parallel branches. See market-benchmark.md for the full analysis.
🤝 Contributing
Contributions welcome — open an issue or submit a merge request.
cartulary enforces Conventional Commits 1.0.0 (rationale in ADR-0019). Allowed types: feat, fix, docs, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore, style. Subject in imperative mood, lowercase, no trailing period, ≤72 chars. CI rejects non-conforming commits; to get the same check locally:
cargo install committed
just install-hooks
Releases are cut by maintainers with cargo release --execute X.Y.Z, which runs git-cliff to update CHANGELOG.md and triggers cargo publish + GitLab Release artefacts on tag push. Maintainers either enter the Nix dev shell (nix develop, which ships cargo-release and git-cliff) or install the two tools manually:
cargo install --locked cargo-release git-cliff
