CLI-Native Agent Orchestration NEW

Problem

Web chat UIs are awkward for repeat runs, local file edits, or scripting inside CI pipelines.

Solution

Expose agent capabilities through a first-class command-line interface (here: Claude CLI).

  • claude spec run — generate/update code from a spec file.
  • claude spec test — run the Spec-As-Test suite.
  • claude repl — drop into an interactive shell with all project context pre-loaded.

Developers can integrate these commands in Makefiles, Git hooks, or cron jobs, enabling headless automation and faster local loops.

Example

# In your project Makefile
generate-from-spec:
    claude spec run --input api.yaml --output src/

test-spec-compliance:
    claude spec test --spec api.yaml --codebase src/

# Git pre-commit hook
claude spec test || exit 1

Trade-offs

  • Pros: scriptable, works offline with local context, easy to embed in other tools.
  • Cons: initial install & auth; learning curve for CLI flags.
