Interactive REPL Session

Start an interactive session with undo/redo support.

# Use 'help' to see available commands
# Use 'undo' and 'redo' for history navigation

Export the project to a final output format.

State Management

The CLI maintains session state with:

  • Undo/Redo: Up to 50 levels of history
  • Project persistence: Save/load project state as JSON
  • Session tracking: Track modifications and changes

Output Formats

All commands support dual output modes:

  • Human-readable (default): Tables, colors, formatted text
  • Machine-readable (--json flag): Structured JSON for agent consumption
# Human output
cli-anything-drawio project info -p project.json

# JSON output for agents
cli-anything-drawio --json project info -p project.json

For AI Agents

When using this CLI programmatically:

1. Always use --json flag for parseable output

2. Check return codes - 0 for success, non-zero for errors

3. Parse stderr for error messages on failure

4. Use absolute paths for all file operations

5. Verify outputs exist after export operations
