# cli-anything-gimp

A stateful command-line interface for image editing, built on Pillow. Designed for AI agents and power users who need to create and manipulate images without a GUI.

## Installation

This CLI is installed as part of the cli-anything-gimp package:

```bash
pip install cli-anything-gimp
```

**Prerequisites:**
- Python 3.10+
- gimp is recommended for native batch rendering, but layered compositions can
  still render through the built-in Pillow path when GIMP is unavailable or when
  deferred `draw` operations are present


## Usage

### Basic Commands

```bash
# Show help

# Create a new project
cli-anything-gimp project new -o project.json

# Run with JSON output (for agent consumption)
cli-anything-gimp --json project info -p project.json
```

### REPL Mode
