I Built an Autonomous CLI Agent – Here's How It Works

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

I've spent the last several months building Krud AI - an autonomous CLI agent that understands plain English and executes multi-step tasks in your terminal. The Problem Every developer I know has the same experience: you're deep in a project and need to do something slightly outside your muscle memory - a complex git rebase, Docker networking, a database migration. You open a browser, search, copy-paste, iterate. Twenty minutes gone. Flow state broken. I wanted a tool that lived in the terminal - where the work actually happens - and could handle these tasks autonomously.
