chunksmith-cli 0.6.18

ChunkSmith CLI — modular indexing, storage, and document Q&A.

chunksmith-cli (Python)

PyPI package chunksmith-cli v0.6.0 — modular Rich terminal for ChunkSmith indexing, storage, and document Q&A.

Part of the ChunkSmith monorepo (packages/chunksmith-cli).

What's new in 0.6.0

• Minimal core install — pip install chunksmith-cli installs only the CLI shell + chunksmith-core

• Modular extras — pick pipelines and features at install time

• chunksmith install — interactive extra picker (runs pip/uv for you)

• Dynamic menus — only shows modes for installed packages

• Slash commands — /exit, /back, /revert at any prompt (also without /)

• Stepped wizards — /revert rewinds to the previous configure/indexing step
