A companion CLI for Bear notes. It started as a small Markdown linter and turned into a proper toolkit: orphan and duplicate reports, dangling wikilink detection, a literal find-and-replace, a random-note opener, and the original linter, all in one binary.

This is a from-scratch Go rewrite of the Python original. Same commands, but now it’s a single binary with no runtime dependencies, and it talks to Bear through bearcli, Bear’s own bundled CLI.

Commands

• bearkit lint - checks and fixes Markdown inconsistencies: bullet markers, emphasis style, checklist syntax, heading structure, and more
• bearkit orphans - notes with no incoming [[wikilinks]]
• bearkit duplicates - notes that share the same title
• bearkit wikilinks - dangling [[wikilinks]] whose target doesn’t exist, with --mark to flag them in the note itself
• bearkit replace - literal find-and-replace across notes
• bearkit random - open one or more random notes in Bear

Run bearkit with no arguments and it walks you through everything in the terminal. Pass any flag and it runs non-interactively, which is what you want for scripts, cron jobs, and launchd agents.
