Eve App Cli

Agents burn 3-5 LLM calls per REST interaction fumbling with curl syntax, JSON escaping, and auth headers. This pattern wraps your app's API in a domain-specific CLI that reads Eve's auto-injected environment variables and turns `curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" ...` into `eden changeset create --file data.json`. You bundle it with esbuild into a single executable, commit it to your repo, and declare it in your manifest. The platform puts it on PATH for any agent with `with_apis` access. The auto-detection pattern is clever: if there's only one project, commands skip the `--project` flag and just work. It's the difference between agents that guess at API calls and agents that run actual commands.

Eve App CLI

Build domain-specific CLIs for Eve-compatible apps so agents interact via commands instead of raw REST calls.

Why

Agents waste 3-5 LLM calls per REST interaction on URL construction, JSON quoting, auth headers, and error parsing. A CLI reduces this to 1 call:

# Before (3-5 calls, error-prone)
curl -X POST "$EVE_APP_API_URL_API/projects/$PID/changesets" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVE_JOB_TOKEN" \
  -d @/tmp/changeset.json

# After (1 call, self-documenting)
eden changeset create --project $PID --file /tmp/changeset.json

Quick Start

1. Create the CLI Package

your-app/
  cli/
    src/
      index.ts          # Entry point
      client.ts         # API client (reads env vars)
      commands/
        projects.ts     # Domain commands
    bin/
      your-app          # Built artifact (single-file bundle)
    package.json
    tsconfig.json

2. Implement the API Client

// cli/src/client.ts — Copy this, change SERVICE name
const SERVICE = 'API';
