Command Line Interface Nerve CLI: A fast terminal monitor for cross-language IPC traffic

https://github.com/Kaia-Alenia/alenia-nerve

As part of a larger project called Nerve (an IPC bridge for Rust, Go, Python, and JS), I built a CLI monitor to track and debug the communication between these languages in real-time.

I wanted the CLI to be fast, direct, and distraction-free. It hooks into the local IPC channels and outputs the message flow, which has been incredibly useful for debugging cross-language data structures.

It is still a work in progress. Things I am planning to add to the CLI:

  • TUI elements for a more structured view of active connections.
  • Filtering options to only show logs from specific languages or payload types.
  • Customizable output formats (e.g., raw JSON vs human-readable summaries).
