The rise of AI-powered developer tools has opened up incredible possibilities. In this guide, we'll build a CLI tool that leverages Claude's API to help with everyday development tasks.
Our CLI will support three commands: - review: Analyze code for bugs, security issues, and improvements - refactor: Get AI-powered refactoring suggestions - docs: Generate documentation from source code
We'll use Commander.js for CLI parsing, the Anthropic SDK for API calls, and chalk for beautiful terminal output.
