open standards

AI won’t replace your shell—it will productize it: the Model Context Protocol standardizes how assistants safely discover and run least‑privilege, auditable, typed CLI tools, turning Bash scripts into reproducible capabilities. Get MCP‑ready by installing core utils, wrapping commands with timeouts and JSON, sandboxing via systemd/bubblewrap, and adding logs—so editors, terminals, and chat UIs can use them securely and portably.

Practical, bash‑first standards for reliable AI on Linux: replace snowflake setups with OCI containers (rootless preferred), neutral ONNX models, FHS‑aligned paths, and systemd+cgroups v2 resource controls—plus pinned deps and image digests for reproducibility. Explains why (portability, operability, security) and provides copy‑paste apt/dnf/zypper commands, unit files, and example inference code.
