# OpenCLI Agent Pack: delta

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `delta`.

## What this CLI is for
Readable diffs, git pager, and syntax highlighting from the terminal. Built by Dan Davison.

Best for: readable diffs, git pager, and syntax highlighting from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Human-first CLI (25/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.

## Install
```sh
brew install git-delta
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
delta --version
```
Expected signal: delta responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
delta --version
```

```sh
git -c core.pager=delta diff
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use delta (`delta`) for readable diffs, git pager, and syntax highlighting from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
