+ ## What is toby?
9
+
10
+ Toby is a CLI tool that turns markdown specifications into working code through AI-driven plan and build loops. You write specs describing what you want, and toby orchestrates an AI agent to plan the implementation, then iteratively builds it — discovering files, generating code, and running validation until the spec is complete.
11
+
12
+ ## How it works
13
+
14
+ Toby follows a three-phase loop:
15
+
16
+ 1. **Spec** — You write a markdown file describing what you want built (features, acceptance criteria, constraints)
17
+ 2. **Plan** — Toby sends your spec to an AI CLI, which analyzes the codebase and produces an implementation plan with concrete tasks
18
+ 3. **Build** — Toby iteratively executes each task through the AI CLI, running your validation command between iterations until the spec is complete
19
+
20
+ Each phase feeds into the next: specs drive plans, plans drive builds, and build results update the project status so you always know where things stand.
21
+
22
+ ## Quick start
23
+
24
+ ```bash
25
+ # Install toby globally
26
+ npm install -g @0xtiby/toby
27
+
28
+ # Initialize toby in your project
29
+ toby init
30
+
31
+ # Write a spec in your specs directory (default: specs/)
32
+ # e.g. specs/add-auth.md describing the feature you want
33
+
34
+ # Generate an implementation plan from your spec
35
+ toby plan --spec=add-auth
36
+
37
+ # Build the planned spec with AI
38
+ toby build --spec=add-auth
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ - `toby init` — sets up configuration and specs directory in your project
42
+ - `toby plan` — sends a spec to the AI CLI to produce an implementation plan
43
+ - `toby build` — iteratively executes the plan, running validation between iterations
44
+ - `toby status` — shows progress across all specs
45
+ - `toby config` — manage CLI, model, and project settings
46
+
47
+ ## Development
48
+
49
+ ```bash
50
+ # Install dependencies
51
+ pnpm install
52
+
53
+ # Build the project
54
+ pnpm build
55
+
56
+ # Link globally for local testing
57
+ pnpm link --global
58
+
59
+ # Unlink when done
60
+ pnpm unlink --global @0xtiby/toby
61
+ ```
