📦 Package Manager

Sierra Dev provides an APT-like package management system:

Repository Management

sierra-dev repo add <url>      # Add repository
sierra-dev repo list            # List sources
sierra-dev repo update          # Update registries
sierra-dev repo remove <name>   # Remove source

Package Operations

sierra-dev search <query>       # Find packages
sierra-dev install <pkg>        # Install package
sierra-dev update --all         # Update all
sierra-dev remove <pkg>         # Uninstall
sierra-dev list --installed     # List installed

Development

sierra-dev build                # Compile invokers
sierra-dev check                # Run validation
sierra-dev health               # Environment status

🎯 Features

Type Safety Enforcement

Automatic validation ensures all invokers have proper type annotations:

# ✅ Valid - Will pass validation
def analyze_target(domain: str, check_breach: bool = False) -> dict:
    """Analyze a target domain."""
    return {"domain": domain, "found": True}

# ❌ Invalid - Will fail validation
def analyze_target(domain, check_breach=False):  # Missing type annotations
    return {"domain": domain}

Rich Result Types

Built-in support for complex data visualization:

from sierra import Table, Timeline, Chart, Tree, respond

# Output rich results
respond(Table(
    headers=["IP", "Port", "Service"],
    rows=[["192.168.1.1", "80", "HTTP"]]
))

Comprehensive Validation

• YAML safety checks
• Parameter validation
• Type annotation enforcement
• Health diagnostics

🛠️ Development

1. Initialize Project

sierra-dev init my_project
cd my_project

2. Create an Invoker

import sierra

invoker = sierra.InvokerScript(
    name="my_tool",
    description="Analyze a target"
)

@invoker.entry_point
def run(target: str) -> None:
    """Analyze a target."""
    result = {"target": target, "status": "analyzed"}
    sierra.respond(result)

Building

# Validate your invokers
sierra-dev check --env test_env

# Build with verbose output
sierra-dev build --env test_env -v

# Check health
sierra-dev health --env test_env

📊 Statistics

• 14 CLI Commands - Comprehensive package management
• 6 Package Manager Modules - Full-featured package system
• Type Safety Validation - AST-based automatic checking
• GitHub Integration - Use existing infrastructure
