Development Tools

The Development Tools layer provides workflow automation, packaging, and code generation utilities that streamline the development process across the provide.io ecosystem. These tools work together to support the complete development lifecycle from environment setup through packaging and deployment.

Tool Ecosystem

Each tool addresses a specific aspect of the development workflow:

FlavorPack: Secure executable packaging using PSPF/2025 specification. Bundles Python applications with all dependencies into single-file executables with signature verification.

WrkNv: Work environment management and toolchain automation. Manages Python environments, project workspaces, and development tool installation.

SupSrc: Automated Git workflow and commit management. Handles commit creation, branch management, and repository operations with smart automation.

Plating: Documentation and code generation templates. Creates boilerplate code, documentation scaffolding, and project structures from templates.

Workflow Integration

These tools are designed to work together throughout the development process:

  1. Setup (WrkNv): Initialize project environment and install dependencies
  2. Generate (Plating): Create boilerplate code and documentation structure
  3. Develop: Implement features using the frameworks
  4. Commit (SupSrc): Automate Git operations and commit management
  5. Package (FlavorPack): Build and sign distributable executables
