About
apcore-cli is the "inside-out" adapter for the apcore ecosystem. apcore-cli takes your apcore modules and automatically exposes them as CLI subcommands — with zero code changes. It handles zero-config routing, schema-driven arguments, boolean flag pairs, enum choices, STDIN piping, TTY-adaptive output, approval gates, schema validation, security features, shell completions, man pages, and audit logging. It serves as the terminal-native counterpart to apcore-mcp and apcore-a2a.
Features
Zero-Config Routing: Automatically maps module IDs to CLI commands
Schema-Driven Args: Uses input_schema to generate CLI arguments, types, and validation
Boolean Flag Pairs: --verbose / --no-verbose from boolean schema properties
Enum Choices: Click validation for enum properties
STDIN Piping: --input - reads JSON from STDIN, CLI flags override
TTY-Adaptive Output: Rich tables for terminals, JSON for pipes
Approval Gate: TTY-aware HITL prompts for sensitive operations
Security: API key auth, append-only audit logging, subprocess sandboxing
Shell Completions: Generate completion scripts for bash/zsh/fish
Man Pages: Generate roff-formatted man pages
