Cli Anything Chromadb

This is a stateless CLI for ChromaDB's vector database that wraps their HTTP API v2 into something you can actually script or hand to an AI agent. It handles the usual collection management and document operations, but the real point is semantic search from the command line. Ships with both a REPL for interactive work and a JSON output mode (via --json flag) that makes it dead simple to pipe into other tools or let agents use it directly. Built for Python 3.10+ and assumes you've got a ChromaDB server running locally, though you can point it elsewhere with --host.
