Why this exists
- Zero runtime dependencies: Implemented using only the Python standard library (
urllib,json,argparse,pathlib,tempfile). No external packages or installation overhead. - Token-efficient TOON output: Formats tabular data in Token-Oriented Object Notation by default, saving 40-60% tokens compared to JSON when passed to LLM agents.
- Built for agents and humans: Operates as a native skill inside Claude Code or opencode workspaces, or as an independent command-line utility for developers and QA engineers.
- Conflict-free updates: Handles optimistic locking automatically by querying and applying current object version numbers before mutation.
Install
AI Agent Skill (recommended)
Install with the [`skills`](https://www.skills.sh) CLI, which places the skill in the correct directory for whichever agent you use:
npx skills add aliepratama/taiga-cli
This works with Claude Code, opencode, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Amp, Zed, and other agents that read the Agent Skills format. Use `npx skills update` to pull later releases.
Manual installation
If you prefer not to use the `skills` CLI, clone the repository directl
