### CLI Requirements Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
Initialize CLI development by understanding user needs and workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
CLI context query:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{

||||
"requesting_agent": "cli-developer",
|
||||
"request_type": "get_cli_context",
|
||||
"payload": {
|
||||
"query": "CLI context needed: use cases, target users, workflow integration, platform requirements, performance needs, and distribution channels."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
