CLI Utilities
CLI Utilities is the OAT lane for the useful command surface that does not primarily belong to Provider Sync, Docs Tooling, or tracked workflow lifecycle execution.
Use this section when you want bootstrap guidance, tool-pack lifecycle details, configuration help, and general-purpose command references.
What This Section Is
This section collects the command groups that help you initialize OAT, manage installed packs, inspect local or config state, and use the wider CLI without implying that you are adopting provider sync or tracked workflows.
Who It's For
- Users getting OAT set up in a repo
- Teams managing installed tool packs and local config
- People who need a general command map without diving into workflow lifecycle docs
Start Here
- Read Overview to see what command groups live here and how this section relates to the other adoption lanes.

Common Tasks
