pipelex-tools 0.2.0

Pipelex Tools CLI — MTHDS/TOML formatter, linter, and LSP

pipelex-tools

CLI for formatting, linting, and language-server support for MTHDS and TOML files.

What is MTHDS? — An open standard for defining AI methods as typed, composable, human-readable files. A .mthds file describes what an AI should do — its inputs, outputs, logic, and data types — in plain TOML that both people and machines can read. Pipelex is the runtime that executes them. Learn more at docs.pipelex.com.
