'Designs or reviews CLIs so coding agents can run them reliably: non-interactive flags, layered.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CLI for agents

Human-oriented CLIs often block agents: interactive prompts, huge upfront docs, and help text without copy-pasteable examples. Prefer patterns that work headlessly and compose in pipelines.

## Non-interactive first

- Every input should be expressible as a flag or flag value. Do not require arrow keys, menus, or timed prompts.
- If flags are missing, **then** fall back to interactive mode—not the other way around.

**Bad:** `mycli deploy` → `? Which environment? (use arrow keys)`  
**Good:** `mycli deploy --env staging`

## Discoverability without dumping context

- Agents discover subcommands incrementally: `mycli`, then `mycli deploy --help`. Do not print the entire manual on every run.
- Let each subcommand own its documentation so unused commands stay out of context.

## `--help` that works

- Every subcommand has `--help`.
- Every `--help` includes **Examples** with real invocations. Examples do more than prose for pattern-matching.

```text
Options:
  --env     Target environment (staging, production)
  --tag     Image tag (default: latest)
  --force   Skip confirmation

Examples:
  mycli deploy --env staging
  mycli deploy --env production --tag v1.2.3

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit/cli-for-agents@sha256:6f4dcde3ddb78456

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.f2102cf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
