Design principles for agent ergonomics. Higher accuracy with lower token cost than both MCP and regular CLI.
kunchenguid/axi is a set of design principles for building agent-native command-line tools, meaning CLIs shaped for AI agents rather than human users and optimized around token use. It is for developers creating interfaces that agents can use with less overhead than conventional CLIs or structured tool protocols such as MCP. The catalogue instructions and skill describe workflows based on these principles.
