Setlist

AWS Identity Centre makes access sane, but the config file still ends up full of manual work. Every account, every permission set, every profile name. Setlist removes the tedium by building a full .aws/config from the permission sets you actually have provisioned. It walks AWS Organizations, pulls the permission sets per account, and writes clean profiles for each combination. If you want friendly names instead of 12 digit account IDs, it can map those too. ...

gitgrab: clone every repo in a GitHub org

I keep a lot of repositories spread across organizations. When I need a local copy of everything (backup, audit, offline work, whatever), I end up writing one-off scripts that are boring, fragile, and always missing the one repo I forgot about. So I wrote a tool to make this boring task repeatable: gitgrab. https://github.com/scottbrown/gitgrab gitgrab does one thing: it grabs every repository from a GitHub organization and puts them in a directory on disk. It talks to the GitHub API, so it sees both public and private repos. When you run it again, it doesn’t re-clone; it updates what you already have. ...

Quantitative Risk Matrix

Most risk matrices fall apart because the numbers are vibes. One team calls an impact a 5, another calls it a 2, and nobody can agree why. This tool forces the hard part first: define what each impact level and likelihood level actually means. That could be dollars, headlines, or hours of downtime. Once the definitions are set, the matrix shows the severity bands and a summary of the quantitative levels. ...

Meeting Prep Checklist

Most meetings fail before they start. Not because people are lazy, but because nobody wrote down the basics: what we are doing, who is needed, and what decisions are on the table. The Meeting Prep Checklist is a small tool that keeps that list tight. Set the objective, capture the agenda, list attendees and pre-reads, and track a few prep checks. When you are done, it copies a clean summary you can drop into a doc or email. ...

Risk Register Lite

I keep a risk register for the same reason I keep a TODO list: memory is not a system. So I built a small, browser-only tool to keep the register clean and boring. Risk Register Lite lets you add a risk, set likelihood and impact, and capture mitigation notes. It scores each item, stays local in your browser, and can export to CSV when you need to move the data elsewhere. ...
