adorable-cli 0.2.16

A powerful CLI super agent

Adorable CLI - Deep Agent built on Agno

Quick Install • Features • Usage • Configuration

---

Adorable is a deep agent for complex, long-horizon tasks, powered by the Agno framework. It operates through continuous interleaved reasoning and action—thinking before every step, executing with precision, and analyzing results—to handle research, coding, and system automation reliably.

Built on Agno's agent architecture with persistent memory, tool orchestration, and OpenAI-compatible APIs.

🧩 Features

• Deep Agent: Built on Agno framework for planning, web search, coding, and file operations.
• Interleaved Thinking: Continuous Think → Act → Analyze loop—reasons before every step, never guesses, verifies all assumptions.
• Persistent Memory: Uses SQLite (~/.adorable/memory.db) and session summaries to maintain context across long sessions.
• Multi-Modal Toolset:
  • Planning: Reasoning engine & Todo list management.
  • File Operations: File reading, writing, and directory navigation.
  • Web Search: Deep web search (DuckDuckGo) & web content fetching (Fetch MCP).
  • Coding: Python scripting & Shell commands.
  • Vision: Vision capabilities for image analysis.
• Interactive UI: Rich terminal interface with history, autocompletion, and shortcuts.

⚡ Quick Install

We recommend using uv to install and manage Adorable CLI.

Install

uv tool install --python 3.13 adorable-cli

Upgrade

uv tool upgrade adorable-cli --no-cache

If you run into missing dependencies after upgrading, force a reinstall:

uv tool upgrade adorable-cli --reinstall --no-cache

On first run you will be guided to set API_KEY, BASE_URL, MODEL_ID into ~/.adorable/config.json (and a legacy ~/.adorable/config is also maintained for compatibility). You can run ador config anytime to update.
