Hub Principles
No Bloat
Every tool is purpose-built. No unnecessary features, no third-party trackers, no accounts you don't control.
Cost Aware
API costs are tracked and minimised at every layer. Intel Brief uses one Claude call per day by design.
Self-Hosted
All tools run on your own infrastructure. You own the data, you own the stack, you own the keys.
Expandable
New tools slot into the grid. The hub grows with you — no migration, no refactoring the core.

About This Hub
What Is This
A static HTML middleman that sits between the browser and your individual tools. It provides a unified entry point — one URL, one consistent UI — so each tool doesn't have to reinvent navigation, branding, or discovery.
Adding a Tool
Copy a placeholder card in the tools grid. Update the name, description, badge, onclick handler, and status bar class. Add a sidebar entry and a nav button. Done.
Linking to a Tool
Set the onclick of a tool card to window.open('YOUR_URL','_blank') or window.location.href depending on whether you want a new tab or in-place navigation.
Style System
All colours use CSS variables. Dark/light toggling is a single attribute on the root element. Fonts: IBM Plex Mono (labels, code) + IBM Plex Sans (body). Grey, not blue.
Intel Brief Link
Currently wired to launchTool() which opens the tool URL. Update the INTEL_BRIEF_URL constant at the top of the script to point to your running instance.
Design Decisions
  • Grey palette — not blue. Matches industrial / ops aesthetic.
  • IBM Plex Mono for all labels, nav, chips — telegraphs precision and control.
  • 2px left-border active state on sidebar items — minimal indicator, no background blobs.
  • Animated scan bar on live tool card — status at a glance, no badge hunting.
  • Dark default. Light toggle available. Both look correct.
  • Core CSS variables and component classes inherited from Intel Brief for visual consistency.
