RE: replacing Retool, I doubt Igir will come close. What made Retool special was its hand-maintained clone lists, which are going to be better than anything Igir can do with parent/clone inference.
But this is a good suggestion, this is in line with a change made to the report command a little while ago which no longer requires input files.
Thanks for the link to the clone list, I was not aware that they are this extensive. Still I think depending on the p/c info is the correct approach. After all creating and maintaining the clone list is something the original author of Retool did regret as it takes away this responsibility from the authors of the DAT files.

I thought Retool's clone inference and auto-prioritization was pretty special, too ;)

More accurately: it was a necessary evil. Parent/clone tags by themselves aren't up to the task of providing proper 1G1R. It'd be lovely if it was addressed at the source, but that's not going to happen for either No-Intro or Redump, so it's up to client software to fill the gap.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
igir's fixdat has the potential to replace the unfortunately unmaintained Retool in creating filtered .dat files.
Describe the solution you'd like
When running igir without --input i get the following error:
It should not require --input as it could just simply create a .dat file with all the games that pass the filter would be given to the command.
Current workaround:
Create an empty folder and place any file into it (can just be an empty file). Provide this folder as --input to igir.
Together with #1347 I think it could replace Retool.
