Smithy CLI

An initialization tool for the Smithy Agentic Development Workflow. This package provides a CLI that easily sets up the smithy prompt templates for various AI assistant workflows, including Gemini CLI, Claude, and Codex.

Installation

You can run Smithy directly via npx (recommended):

npx @balexda/smithy init

Or install it globally:

npm install -g @balexda/smithy
smithy init

Supported AI Assistants

• Gemini CLI: Installs workspace skills (.gemini/skills/) so you can type /skills reload and immediately use /skill smithy-scope and other workflow commands.
• Claude: Installs prompts into .claude/prompts/ to use within your Claude-based workflows.
• Codex: Sets up prompts in tools/codex/prompts/ for the original spec-kit and Codex workflows.

Workflow Industrial Pipeline

The Smithy Industrial Pipeline follows a structured path from broad ideas to verified implementations, incorporating "Fast Track" shortcuts and built-in "Review Loops" at every stage.

The Pipeline Stages

| Stage | Agent | Purpose | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Ideation | smithy.ignite | Spark: Workshop a broad idea into a structured RFC. | | Rendering | smithy.render | Render: Break an RFC milestone into features. | | Planning | smithy.mark | Scope: Specify a feature with spec, data model, and contracts. | | Cutting | smithy.cut | Cut: Slice a user story into PR-sized task slices. | | Ordering | smithy.orders | Order: Create tickets from Smithy artifacts. | | Forging | smithy.forge | Stage: Implement a slice and forge a PR. | | Repair | smithy.fix | Fix: Diagnose and fix errors from CI failures, test failures, or bugs. | | Shortcut | smithy.strike | Direct: Strike while the iron is hot (Idea -> Tasks). | | Review | smithy.audit | Audit: Universal auditor for any Smithy artifact. |
