The “One-Tool Mousetrap” is a concise manifesto for adopting CUE (Configure-Unify-Execute) as the single source of truth for configuration and policy.
It attacks the common multi-stage YAML stack:
1. YAML hand-edited by humans
2. Jinja2/Go-template rendering → JSON
3. Some external validator (Kubeval, OPA, custom scripts)
4. If validation fails, loop back and edit again (runtime surprise)
The anti-pattern is that you only discover type/syntax/semantic errors after rendering, when the cost of repair is highest.
CUE inverts the flow:
- CUE schema + data (both expressed in CUEs own language)
- `cue export` (a single binary)
- Immediately emits valid YAML/JSON/Dockerfile/INI, already linted against the schema.
Thus the same surface (CUE) is:
• The linter (static analysis)
• The schema (type & constraint def)
• The template (data transformation)
Zero runtime surprises because validation and generation happen in one atomic step.
In short: “CUE collapses the stack.”
