Steipete CLI Builder

Build production-grade CLI tools optimized for AI agent integration using patterns distilled from Peter Steinberger's 30+ tool portfolio (Peekaboo, MCPorter, Oracle, Tachikoma, Terminator).

When to use this skill

• Building a new CLI tool that agents will consume
• Adding MCP server mode to an existing CLI
• Creating AI-integrated automation tools
• Designing multi-provider AI integrations
• Setting up distribution via npm/Homebrew

Core Philosophy

CLI-First, Protocol-Second

The CLI is the canonical engine. MCP/API wrappers are thin adapters.
