From OpenAPI to OpenCLI: AI-Ready Operations for Modern API Platforms
summary
Claim: make CLI operations machine-readable so agents can safely run platform maintenance. Prototype spec called OpenCLISpec models commands, flags, exit codes, environment and safety constraints; three generation paths are shown (annotate, framework hooks, spec generator) and mapping from OpenAPI is partly automated with some human choices. Demo uses a local registry and sim CLI Tool Manager to onboard specs to GitHub, let consumers semantically search, auto-generate exact commands and execute them — prototype works end-to-end.
