Pixelbadger.Toolkit 6.2.0

Pixelbadger.Toolkit

A CLI toolkit exposing varied functionality organized by topic. The CLI uses Spectre.Console for rich terminal output — colour-coded success and error messages, formatted tables for data-heavy commands, and styled interactive prompts for secure input.

Note: Search and MCP RAG functionality has been extracted to the separate Pixelbadger.Toolkit.Rag repository (pbrag CLI tool).

Installation

dotnet tool install --global Pixelbadger.Toolkit
