Implicit CLI
The terminal-native Implicit workflow for fast markdown editing, agent review, and zero-friction shell usage.
Why CLI?
Implicit started in the terminal and that workflow still matters. The CLI edition is the right fit when your work already lives in repos, shell sessions, scripts, and agent-generated markdown files.
- ✓ Terminal-native flow - Open and review markdown where you already work.
- ✓ Agent review ready - Built for CLAUDE.md, PLAN.md, changelogs, and task docs.
- ✓ Script-friendly - Fits read-only review, stdin input, and wait-style workflows.
Workflow Snapshot
Built For The Shell
The CLI edition shares the same editor core as the standalone app, but keeps the interaction model anchored in the terminal.

Core Capabilities
Fast Startup
Designed to open quickly so markdown review feels natural inside terminal-driven work instead of disruptive.
Rendering Modes
Switch between source, preview, raw markdown, and live edit views depending on whether you are authoring or reviewing.
Themeable
Built-in visual themes and terminal-first presentation keep large markdown files legible for long review sessions.
Current Track
The CLI edition remains the terminal-first branch of Implicit. Repository activity, release notes, and active development all live in the main Implicit repo.
If you want packaged macOS distribution, use the standalone app page. If you want the terminal-native workflow, follow the repo and CLI track from GitHub.
Implicit is a product of Them Rhinos.
