## What this CLI is for
Per-project env vars, shell automation, and secrets hygiene from the terminal. Built by direnv.

Best for: per-project env vars, shell automation, and secrets hygiene from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Human-first CLI (35/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.

## Install
```sh
brew install direnv
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
direnv --version
```

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

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.
- Start read-only, then ask before mutations.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use direnv (`direnv`) for per-project env vars, shell automation, and secrets hygiene 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.
