§ 00 · Terminal Edition
Implicit
CLI.
The terminal-native Implicit workflow for fast markdown editing, agent review, and zero-friction shell usage.
§ 01 · Why CLI?
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.
Open a planning doc
$ implicit CLAUDE.md
Review without editing
$ implicit --read-only PLAN.md
Wait for a review pass
$ implicit --wait notes.md
§ 02 · Core Capabilities
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.
§ 03 · Current Track
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.
