# cli-anything-blender

A stateful command-line interface for 3D scene editing, following the same patterns as the GIMP CLI harness. Uses a JSON scene description format with bpy script generation for actual Blender rendering.

## Installation

This CLI is installed as part of the cli-anything-blender package:

```bash
pip install cli-anything-blender
```

**Prerequisites:**
- Python 3.10+
- blender (>= 4.2) must be installed on your system


## Usage

### Basic Commands

```bash
# Show help
cli-anything-blender --help

# Start interactive REPL mode
cli-anything-blender

# Create a new scene project
cli-anything-blender scene new -o scene.blend-cli.json

# Run with JSON output (for agent consumption)
cli-anything-blender --json --project scene.blend-cli.json scene info
```

### REPL Mode

When invoked without a subcommand, the CLI enters an interactive REPL session:

```bash
cli-anything-blender
# Enter commands interactively with tab-completion and history
```
