Bafishka - Fish Shell + Clojure File Operations

Bafishka - Fish Shell + Clojure File Operations

🐟 Rust-native Fish shell-friendly file operations with Steel-backed SCI Clojure evaluation.

Repository

• Source: https://github.com/bmorphism/bafishka
• Language: Clojure (SCI) + Rust
• Seed: 1069 (deterministic)

Core Concept

Bafishka bridges Fish shell ergonomics with Clojure's data processing power:

# Fish shell with Clojure evaluation
baf '(map inc [1 2 3])'  # => [2 3 4]

# File operations with Clojure
baf '(fs/​glob "**/​*.clj" | count)'  # => 42

Key Features

Steel Backend

Steel is a Rust Scheme implementation providing:

• Fast native execution
• Seamless Rust FFI
• Async I/​O support

SCI Clojure

Small Clojure Interpreter for:

• Full Clojure core library
• REPL evaluation
• Babashka compatibility

Usage Examples

# List files with Clojure processing
baf '(->> (fs/​list-dir ".")
         (filter #(str/​ends-with? % ".md"))
         (map fs/​file-name))'

# JSON processing
baf '(-> (slurp "data.json")
         json/​parse-string
         :items
         count)'

# With deterministic seed (1069)
baf '(gay/​color 1069)'  # Deterministic color

Integration with plurigrid/​asi

With gay-mcp

;; File operations with color coding
(defn colored-ls [dir]
  (->> (fs/​list-dir dir)
       (map (fn [f] 
              {:file f 
               :color (gay/​color (hash f))}))))

With duckdb-ies

;; Query DuckDB from bafishka
(baf '(duck/​query "SELECT * FROM files WHERE mtime > now() - interval 1 hour"))

Configuration

# ~/​.config/​fish/​conf.d/​bafishka.fish
set -gx BAF_SEED 1069
set -gx BAF_HISTORY ~/​.baf_history
alias baf 'bafishka eval'

Cat# Integration

This skill maps to Cat# = Comod(P) as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826

GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads satisfying:

(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
