Hi, I’m Bilal.

I’ve been writing software for about two decades. In my off-hours I build free apps for nonprofits and my community, and the occasional tool I want for myself.

sous is one of those tools. AI made it easy to keep ten or twenty projects moving at once; keeping track of them was the hard part. Which one has a review waiting for me? Where did I leave off in this one? What did I promise to come back to?

So sous answers those in one place, and shows up on its own: in a new terminal, and in every agent session, so the agent starts where I left off too. It’s an index, not a tracker. The work stays in git and wherever the project already keeps it.

It’s a sibling of shellbell, which brings a terminal to you when it needs attention. I build and maintain both on my own, alongside my other work. The code is open so you can read it, run it, and write the plugin your work needs.
