## What it is
A command-line tool that maintains a weighted database of frequently visited directories and lets users jump to them quickly with the `j` command. It works with bash, zsh, fish, and other shells across Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD.

## Use cases
- jump to frequently visited directories from the terminal
- navigate the filesystem faster than typing cd paths
- open a file manager at a directory from the shell
- fuzzy-match directories by partial name
- prefer child directories when jumping

## When to choose
- you spend a lot of time in the terminal moving between directories
- you use bash or zsh as your primary shell
- you want a lightweight, standalone tool with no daemon

## When to avoid
- you need a modern fuzzy finder with interactive UI (consider zoxide or fzf)
- your shell is not among the supported ones
- you need first-class Windows support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, file-system, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, files
- platform: windows, bsd, cli, python
