Mprocs guide

Process orchestration, dev services, and parallel commands from the terminal. Built by Pavol Vargovcik.

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

  • process orchestration, dev services, and parallel commands from the terminal.
  • You work with productivity workflows and want a fast terminal interface.
  • You need process orchestration.
  • You need dev services.
  • You need parallel commands.
