Hello tool

The hello tool is the smallest example of each thing a tool can add: a command, a monitor colour rule, a panel and a decoder. It is for tool authors who want to see the whole API surface in one short script.

What it does

  • /hello [name] answers Hello <name> from the imported hello-tool!, or Hello world … without a name.
  • A colour rule tints stations with an OE prefix in the packet monitor, with the --st-user token.
  • A panel shows a line of text and a sandboxed badge.
  • A ROT13 decoder in Tools → Decode rotates letters by 13.

It reaches nothing outside its sandbox. Its manifest name is hello-tool; its folder is tools/hello/.
