Tilt: Kubernetes Dev Toolkit
Tilt automates the local Kubernetes development loop: watch files, build images, deploy to cluster. Configuration lives in a Tiltfile (Starlark, a Python dialect). A resource bundles an image build + k8s deploy (or a local command) into a single manageable unit.
CLI Operations
The commands an agent uses to interact with a running Tilt instance.
