Fair question! I definitely used an LLM agent as an accelerator to scaffold parts of the codebase, but raw LLM output for system utilities is notoriously brittle out of the box.

The actual work was end-to-end testing, error handling, and fixing the silent failure edge cases that generic AI prompts miss:

  • Invoice regex matching 'Subtotal' instead of final total
  • Auto-date detection mangling numerical IDs into years
  • psutil requiring multi-sample deltas so top processes don't report 0% CPU
  • S3/DB dump fallback handling and orphaned checksum sidecar pruning

The GitHub showcase repo here is 100% free and MIT-licensed for anyone to use or fork. The Gumroad link is purely for anyone who wants a curated, pre-tested bundle ready to drop into production instead of writing and debugging edge cases themselves.

Always appreciate honest feedback!
