@dawn-ai/cli

The dawn CLI for Dawn, the TypeScript meta-framework for LangGraph that lets you build LangGraph agents like Next.js apps — a local HMR development runtime with durable threads, route execution, validation and typegen, and the build step that produces LangSmith deployment artifacts. It is the primary tool for working on a Dawn agent app from first scaffold through deploy.
