Agent CLI Framework is a revolutionary, CLI-First orchestration and packaging tool for modern AI Agents. It transforms Python scripts (like LangChain or CrewAI agents) into production-ready, standardized, and orchestratable Command Line Interfaces (CLIs).
- CLI-First Architecture: Run agents synchronously (
run) or as background daemon processes (start). Perfect for long-running multi-agent tasks. - Native Observability: Poll status (
status) and tail thought logs (logs) of background agents without blocking your main process. - Standalone Package Compiler: Use
agent-cli packageto dynamically generate a fully independent Python package (your-agent-cli) out of a simple YAML config. - Single-File Binary Compilation: Use
--binaryto bundle the entire agent and its dependencies (like LangChain) into a standalone executable using PyInstaller. Zero Python environment required for end users! - LLM-Oriented Design: Automatically generates
SKILL.mdfor Claude Code. Throws structured JSON errors with actionable resolutions when run non-interactively (perfect for AI self-healing). - Interactive Secret Management: Securely prompt and save API keys (e.g.,
GEMINI_API_KEY) to a local.envvault (~/.agent-cli/<cli-name>/.env).
git clone https://github.com/Raygooo/agent_cli.git
cd agent_cli
pip install -e .1. Create a config file (agent.yaml)
name: "cooking-agent"
framework: "custom" # or "langchain", "crewai"
entrypoint: "agent:run_agent"
arguments:
cook:
type: string
required: true
spicy:
type: boolean
default: false
required_envs:
- OPENAI_API_KEY2. Run locally with Agent CLI
# Foreground synchronous run
agent-cli run -c agent.yaml --cook "Pizza" --spicy
# Background asynchronous run (Daemon)
JOB_ID=$(agent-cli start -c agent.yaml --cook "Pizza")
agent-cli logs $JOB_ID --follow3. Compile into a standalone CLI and Binary
# Generates a standalone Python package in dist/cooking-agent-cli
agent-cli package -c agent.yaml
# Or compile into a zero-dependency binary executable!
agent-cli package -c agent.yaml --binary
# --binary now builds inside an isolated uv-managed virtual environment
# before invoking PyInstaller.
# Now you can distribute it and users can just run:
./dist/bin/cooking-agent-cli run "Pizza"Agent CLI Framework 是一个革命性的、以 CLI 为核心的 AI Agent 编排与打包框架。它可以将你编写的 Python 脚本(如 LangChain 或 CrewAI Agent)一键转化为生产可用、标准化且高度可被大模型(如 Claude Code)编排的命令行工具。
- CLI-First 架构:支持前台同步执行(
run)和后台守护进程异步执行(start)。完美解决复杂多 Agent 任务耗时长、易断连的痛点。 - 原生可观测性:随时随地轮询后台任务状态(
status),或者像tail -f一样实时追踪底层 Agent 的思考日志(logs)。 - 独立包编译器:使用
agent-cli package,只需提供一份极简的 YAML 配置,即可动态生成一个完全独立的 Python CLI 安装包(带有专属的业务指令如--cook)。 - 单文件二进制编译:通过附加
--binary参数,底层会自动调用 PyInstaller 将你的 Agent(连同庞大的 LangChain 等依赖)打包成一个绿色的单文件可执行程序。最终用户即使不安装 Python 也能双击运行! - 面向 LLM 设计 (LLM-Oriented):一键为 Claude Code 等主编排器生成
SKILL.md操作指南。在被脚本或 AI 非交互式调用时,遇到错误(如缺少 API Key)会抛出带有自我修复建议的结构化 JSON,便于 AI 自动纠错。 - 交互式安全凭证管理:内置
env指令。首次运行缺少 API Key 时,会通过密码框安全提示用户输入,并持久化保存在本地私有目录(~/.agent-cli/<cli-name>/.env)中。

cd agent_cli
pip install -e .1. 编写配置文件 (agent.yaml)
name: "cooking-agent"
framework: "custom" # 支持 "langchain" 或 "crewai"
entrypoint: "agent:run_agent"
arguments:
cook: # 自动映射为 CLI 参数
type: string
required: true
spicy:
type: boolean
default: false
required_envs:
- OPENAI_API_KEY2. 使用 Agent CLI 运行测试
# 前台同步运行
agent-cli run -c agent.yaml --cook "番茄炒蛋" --spicy
# 后台异步运行(守护进程模式)
JOB_ID=$(agent-cli start -c agent.yaml --cook "番茄炒蛋")
agent-cli logs $JOB_ID --follow3. 编译发布为独立的 CLI 工具与二进制文件
# 在 dist/cooking-agent-cli 生成标准的 Python Package 项目
agent-cli package -c agent.yaml
# 或者直接编译成零环境依赖的可执行二进制程序!
agent-cli package -c agent.yaml --binary
# --binary 现在会先使用 uv 创建隔离虚拟环境,再调用 PyInstaller。
# 现在,你可以将程序分发给任何人,他们只需要执行:
./dist/bin/cooking-agent-cli run "番茄炒蛋"Built for the next generation of AI orchestration. See ROADMAP.md for future explorations.
