Dagger guide

The official CLI from Dagger. Pipelines, containers, and ci automation from the terminal. Supports structured output — good for scripts and agents.

Open CLI packages the install path, verify step, and safe-start workflow so this tool can move from “interesting CLI” to something you can actually use. It also integrates with skills.sh so each CLI comes with the right companion skills, not just a binary and a docs link.

When to apply

  • pipelines, containers, and ci automation from the terminal.
  • You want containers and infrastructure you can script with structured output.
  • You need pipelines.
  • You need containers.
  • You need ci automation.
