Docs (xAlisher)
What it does: Searches the Basecamp and Logos docs and blog from inside Basecamp and returns the exact passage with a link
Stage: Prototype
Licence: MIT
Verified on 4 November 2026 against README and v0.1.0.
Docs (xAlisher) is a Basecamp module by xAlisher, published as docs-logos (module name docs_logos). It searches the Logos documentation and blog on the device. Its metadata.json lists no dependencies on other Logos modules.
What it does
- It runs a keyword search over docs.logos.co and blog.logos.co. The search runs on the device, with no model and no server.
- It ships an offline copy of the docs, so search works as soon as it is installed.
- It opens any result full screen as Markdown, with code blocks, tables, lists and links. Text and code can be copied.
- Blog results carry their publish date, and newer posts win ties.
- A Fetch now button crawls the docs and blog again and rebuilds the local index. The README says this is the only network use, and it is optional.
Stage: Prototype. The README opens with "This is a personal, experimental hobby project. It is not an official Logos product. Not audited."
Use it
- Signed packages are on the releases page, with builds for Linux (amd64) and macOS (arm64).
- The package installs with the Basecamp Package Manager, or with
lgpm modules install --fileand the package file. - The package is signed by xAlisher, so it installs without the allow-unsigned option.
- The README does not name a Basecamp version.
Build it
- It needs Nix with flakes.
nix build .#builds the module.nix build .#lgx-portablebuilds a portable package.python3 tools/crawl_index.pyrebuilds the search index. It needs the requests and beautifulsoup4 Python packages.
