# alex0ptr/once

> A Go CLI that runs a command once and caches its stdout in a small background daemon for a set TTL. Repeated calls with the same command, directory and tenant key are served from memory, handy for reading secrets without re-approving each time.

## Useful for

- Cache `op read` output for 8 hours to avoid fingerprint approval on every token read
- Inject cached secrets into env via mise or direnv without repeated prompts
- Bound the cache with `--until`, e.g. until the end of the working day

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-09 (UTC), 13:09–14:50: 27 → 46 stars (+19). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +26 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 46 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “Once: Cache CLI Commands” — 43 points, 5 h ago.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @millette (310 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 2
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 13 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 11

## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
