se - Stack Exchange CLI Browser

The se module allows users to search the entire Stack Exchange network, including Stack Overflow and Ask Ubuntu, and browse questions and answers directly in the terminal.

When to Activate

  • When the user has a specific technical problem and wants to search Stack Overflow.
  • When browsing answers for a specific question ID.
  • When searching platform-specific sites like Ask Ubuntu for system-related issues.

Core Principles & Rules

  • Site Selection: Support for site-specific prefixes like :so (Stack Overflow) and :au (Ask Ubuntu).
  • Interactive TUI: Use --app to browse question answers in a structured terminal UI.
  • Search Integration: Uses DuckDuckGo for broader search within the SE ecosystem if needed.

Patterns & Examples

Search Stack Overflow

bash
# Search for JSON parsing issues in Python on Stack Overflow
x se :so "python json parse error"

View Answers

bash
# Get all answers for a specific question ID
x se question --showall 75261408

Interactive App

bash
# Browse question answers in an interactive TUI
x se question --app 75261408

Checklist

  • Confirm if the search should be limited to a specific SE site (e.g., Stack Overflow).
  • Verify if the user has a specific question ID or needs to perform a keyword search.
  • Check if the interactive view or raw output is preferred.

pufferlib

High-performance reinforcement learning framework optimized for speed and scale. Use when you need fast parallel training, vectorized environments, multi-agent systems, or integration with game environments (Atari, Procgen, NetHack). Achieves 2-10x speedups over standard implementations. For quick prototyping or standard algorithm implementations with extensive documentation, use stable-baselines3 instead.
