Developer Environment Setup

Standardize local engineering workstations with single-binary utility commands.

Scripting & Pipeline Orchestration

Chain complex multi-stage scripts with reliable error reporting and exits.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install anthropic-cli using your package manager: `go install github.com/anthropics/anthropic-cli@latest`
