AI Flywheel CLI

A planned cross-platform .NET command-line interface for managing Flywheel installations. Its command surface is being developed to make common lifecycle tasks consistent and scriptable.

An in-development .NET CLI for managing and validating AI Flywheel installations, missions, and goals.

01 / Why

The problem

Operating the AI Flywheel manually across repositories can make common lifecycle tasks inconsistent.

When lifecycle operations remain entirely manual, teams may interpret the same framework rules differently and struggle to automate routine checks.

The underlying question is not simply whether the project can perform a task, but how that task can remain understandable, repeatable, and safe as conditions change.

02 / What

The solution

Develop a cross-platform .NET command-line interface for installation, missions, goals, validation, and upgrades.

The README proposes commands for initialization, missions, goals, validation, and upgrades; a stable, cross-platform command interface is the intended operational boundary.

Track this project if you want a .NET-oriented terminal interface to the Flywheel model; verify implemented commands before integrating it.

03 / Who

Who it's for

Developers planning to operate Flywheel workflows from a terminal or CI pipeline.

A practical fit is a reader or maintainer who wants a defined workflow and documented boundaries rather than an unexplained one-off operation.
