SAI Software Management Suite

This repository contains two complementary tools for software metadata management:

🔧 SAI - Software Action Interface CLI Tool

A lightweight CLI tool for executing software management actions using provider-based configurations.

Key Features:

• Provider-based Actions: Execute install, configure, start, stop, and other actions
• Multi-platform Support: Works across Linux, macOS, and Windows
• Extensible Providers: Support for package managers, containers, and custom providers
• Configuration Management: Flexible YAML/JSON configuration system
• Dry-run Mode: Preview actions before execution

🤖 SAIGEN - AI-Powered Saidata Generation Tool

An AI-enhanced tool for generating, validating, and managing software metadata in YAML format with universal repository support.

Key Features:

• Universal Repository Support: 50+ package managers including apt, dnf, brew, winget, npm, pypi, cargo, and more
• YAML-Driven Configuration: Add new repositories without code changes using simple YAML configs
• AI-Enhanced Generation: Uses LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama) for intelligent metadata creation
• Advanced Repository Management: Concurrent operations, intelligent caching, and real-time statistics
• Schema Validation: Validates generated files against official saidata schema
• RAG Support: Retrieval-Augmented Generation for improved accuracy
• Batch Processing: Generate metadata for multiple software packages efficiently
• Comprehensive CLI: Full-featured repository management and package search capabilities

Installation

Install Both Tools

pip install sai  # Installs both sai and saigen

Development Installation

It's recommended to use a virtual environment for development:

git clone https://github.com/example42/sai.git
cd sai

# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Upgrade pip to latest version (required for pyproject.toml editable installs)
pip install --upgrade pip

# Install in development mode with all dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev,llm,rag]"

To deactivate the virtual environment when done:

deactivate
