edgecrab-cli

Why this crate? The most capable agent in the world is useless if interacting with it
feels like work. edgecrab-cli is the face of EdgeCrab: a full-screen ratatui TUI, guided
setup wizard, 42 slash commands, YAML theming, live streaming output, and instant startup
(< 50 ms). It packages the Agent from edgecrab-core into a self-contained release binary
with zero runtime dependencies.

Part of EdgeCrab — the Rust SuperAgent.
