What is BYOB CLI?
The command-line companion for BYOB projects: workspace status, deploys, database, storage, auth, email, analytics, git, and DNS from the terminal. The bridge between chat-built apps and local agent workflows.
Example
`byob deploy` ships the current workspace; `byob database` inspects the live D1 schema — same project the chat built, now scriptable.

MCP stdio Bridge
Running the BYOB CLI as a standard MCP server over stdio so Claude Code, Codex, and other clients attach directly. One command turns the workspace into tools any agent can call.
Agent MCP vs Container MCP
The hosted broker versus the per-project executor. Agent MCP coordinates across projects; container MCP acts inside one workspace with its credentials and files.
Git History
The commit trail of a generated project: what changed, when, and why. AI builders that commit with readable notes make every experiment reviewable and reversible.
Guided Preflight
The multi-step setup wizard BYOB runs before generating code: refining the prompt, identifying features, proposing UX direction, and choosing data options. Planning first is what separates coherent apps from random screens.
Lucky Build (Autopilot)
The one-shot fast path that skips guided setup and generates directly from the prompt. Best for experiments and landing pages; guided preflight wins for anything with data or auth.
Pass-1 Build
The uninterruptible first generation surface: styles, layout, page, components, then validation. Letting pass one finish prevents half-built states that later edits have to repair.
