AI Native CLI
Design spec with 98 rules for building CLI tools that AI agents can safely use. Covers structured JSON output, error handling, input contracts, safety guardrails, exit codes, and agent self-description.
# Agent-Friendly CLI Spec v0.1 When building or modifying CLI tools, follow these rules to make them safe and reliable for AI agents to use. ## Overview A comprehensive design specification for building AI-native CLI tools. It defines 98 rules across three certification levels (Agent-Friendly, Agent-Ready, Agent-Native) with prioritized requirements (P0/P1/P2). The spec covers structured JSON output, error handling, input contracts, safety guardrails, exit codes, self-description, and a feedback loop via a built-in issue system. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when building a new CLI tool that AI agents will invoke - Use when retrofitting an existing CLI to be agent-friendly - Use when designing command-line interfaces for automation pipelines - Use when auditing a CLI tool's compliance with agent-safety standards ## Core Philosophy 1. **Agent-first** -- default output is JSON; human-friendly is opt-in via `--human` 2. **Agent is untrusted** -- validate all input at the same level as a public API 3. **Fail-Closed** -- when validation logic itself errors, deny by default
