Six commands.

python3 -m pip install ./cli

coldlibrary init my-core        # start a workspace
coldlibrary validate my-core    # check before sealing
coldlibrary seal my-core \
  --threshold 2 --shares 3      # encrypt and split
coldlibrary check-share         # a keeper checks one share
coldlibrary verify sealed       # compare against MANIFEST
coldlibrary open sealed \
  --share-file a --share-file b # two keepers, together
