About:
Quail is an unofficial command-line interface client for esa, a team knowledge sharing and documentation platform. It enables developers to search, post, and manage documentation directly from the terminal, streamlining the workflow for technical teams. The tool is designed to integrate documentation tasks into development environments and automated scripts.
Key Features:
  • Search and retrieve posts from esa teams via CLI
  • Create and update documentation posts from the terminal
  • Streamlined authentication and configuration management
  • Lightweight and fast execution for scripting
Use Cases:
  • Quickly searching internal team documentation without leaving the terminal
  • Automating documentation updates as part of a CI/CD pipeline
  • Drafting or editing technical notes during development sessions
Alternatives:
  • esa web interface – Provides a graphical experience but lacks terminal automation and CLI integration
  • curl + esa API – Manual and requires custom scripting, whereas Quail offers a dedicated, user-friendly CLI
