Overlord & the Critters
Overlord manages a collection of small, purpose-built tools that handle different pieces of my Hoard. I call them the Critters.
The Critters validate what they are given instead of quietly guessing. When something does not match, looks suspicious, or needs a human decision, they stop and ask rather than silently changing the Hoard.
Meet the Critters
This is where the individual tools will live: what each one does, where it fits in the workflow, and screenshots of it working with the real Hoard.
🐿️ Squirrel
Gathers “acorns” from multiple inputs and prepares them for the other Critters.
Meet Squirrel →🐇 Rabbit
Applies validated changes and builds candidate collection snapshots for review.
🕳️ Mole
Moves approved changes safely into the master collection while handling versions and archives.
🦝 Raccoon
Counts the resulting Hoard, checks its integrity, and produces collection-wide summaries.
🦡 Ferret
Follows the trail through completed batches so I can see what changed and how it happened.
🦉 Owl
Helps verify the physical collection against what the records say should be there.
🦫 Beaver & Weasel
Lookup and inspection helpers for working with sets, records, and the Hoard.
Built Locally, Kept Locally
Overlord and the Critters run locally. The collection stays on the PC instead of depending on a cloud service, subscription, or account just to keep working with it.
Tools built by a collector, for collectors.
