# cli-anything-inkscape

A stateful command-line interface for vector graphics editing, following the same patterns as the GIMP and Blender CLI harnesses. Directly manipulates SVG (XML) documents with a JSON project format for state tracking.

## Installation

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

```bash
pip install cli-anything-inkscape
```

**Prerequisites:**
- Python 3.10+
- inkscape must be installed on your system


## Usage

### Basic Commands

```bash
# Show help
cli-anything-inkscape --help

# Start interactive REPL mode
cli-anything-inkscape

# Create a new document
cli-anything-inkscape document new -o project.json

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

### REPL Mode

When invoked without a subcommand, the CLI enters an interactive REPL session:

```bash
cli-anything-inkscape
# Enter commands interactively with tab-completion and history
```

You can also start the REPL with a nonexistent project path. The CLI now seeds a
new in-memory document instead of failing immediately:

```bash
cli-anything-inkscape --project /abs/path/new-title.inkscape-cli.json
```
