E6:S03:T04 – Build framework update CLI tool​

Status: SUPERSEDED
Note: This task has been expanded into a full Story: E6:S07 – ADK implementation analysis and package management. See Story-007-adk-implementation-analysis-and-package-management.md for the active story anchor (CLI scope absorbed there).

Input: Framework dependency architecture, update procedures

  5. Support multiple dependency backends (Git submodules, package managers)
  6. Create CLI documentation and usage examples

Key Deliverables:

  • ai-dev-kit CLI tool (Python-based)
  • CLI command reference documentation
  • Installation and usage guides
  • Example workflows

CLI Commands:

  • ai-dev-kit install <framework>[@version] - Install framework as dependency
  • ai-dev-kit update <framework> - Update framework to latest version
  • ai-dev-kit check - Check for framework updates
  • ai-dev-kit status - Show installed framework versions

Related Work:
