Yaak CLI

The yaak CLI for publishing plugins and creating/updating/sending requests.

Installation

Agentic Workflows

The yaak CLI is primarily meant to be used by AI agents, and has the following features:

  • schema subcommands to get the JSON Schema for any model (eg. yaak request schema http)
  • --json '{...}' input format to create and update data
  • --verbose mode for extracting debug info while sending requests
  • The ability to send entire workspaces and folders (Supports --parallel and --fail-fast)

Example Prompts

Use the yaak CLI with agents like Claude or Codex to do useful things for you.

Here are some example prompts:

text
