# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Hatch

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

## What this CLI is for
Python projects, env management, and builds from the terminal. Built by Hatch.

Best for: python projects, env management, and builds from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Usable with guardrails (50/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.

## Install
```sh
pipx install hatch
```

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

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

```sh
hatch new demo && hatch run test
```

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

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Hatch (`hatch`) for python projects, env management, and builds 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.
