Interesting - hadn't heard of `khard`, looks like its a vCard client. I've looked a bit into the vCard spec - looks (mostly) simple, atleast if the plain text variant is used. My current idea for a contact system currently is just to have a text file (tsv) with two columns number & contact name. Not sure yet, holding off building out the contact system work for a little while until some other bugs are fixed.

With 'khard' you can look-up really easily contacts (is also used in combination with mutt), it uses vCard specs so it is much more elegant to sync the list with services (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CardDAV#Server-side).

Using khard (https://github.com/scheibler/khard/) as intermediate might make calling & texting easier (and I would sync it vdirsyncer (https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/)) - but that's maybe outside the suckless - toolchain :-)
