# Clanker — Autonomous Systems Engineering CLI Agent

> Clanker is an MIT CLI agent for cloud systems engineering (AWS, GCP, Cloudflare), guiding plan/apply flows to inspect infra and generate deploy changes.

## Install

Copy the content below into your project:

## Quick Use

```bash
brew tap clankercloud/tap
brew install clanker
clanker --help
# Docs: https://docs.clankercloud.ai/
```

## Intro

Clanker is an MIT CLI agent for cloud systems engineering (AWS, GCP, Cloudflare), guiding plan/apply flows to inspect infra and generate deploy changes.

**Best for:** cloud/platform teams who want an interactive agent to inspect infra and produce deploy plans

**Works with:** AWS/GCP/Cloudflare toolchains, terminal workflows, optional GitHub integrations (per docs)

**Setup time:** 6-12 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub: 292 stars · 15 forks · pushed 2026-05-12.
- License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
- README-verified entrypoint: `brew install clanker`.

## Main

- Use it as a “systems engineer in the terminal”: ask questions about your environment and iterate toward a plan.

- Keep changes safe: treat outputs as proposals, apply in stages, and require human review for production-impacting diffs.

- Pair it with observability tools (logs/metrics) so plans are grounded in real signals, not guesses.

### Source-backed notes

- README describes Clanker as an autonomous systems engineering CLI agent for cloud environments.
- README includes a Homebrew tap installation path (`brew tap ...` then `brew install clanker`).
- README links to a docs site at docs.clankercloud.ai.

### FAQ

- **Is Homebrew install recommended?**: README provides it, but notes it can be outdated versus building from source.
- **Does it apply changes automatically?**: It can guide apply flows; keep a human in the loop for safety.
- **Where is the documentation?**: README links docs.clankercloud.ai.

# Docs: https://docs.clankercloud.ai/
```

## Intro

Clanker 是 MIT 许可的云端系统工程 CLI agent（支持 AWS/GCP/Cloudflare 等），可通过交互式 maker/deploy 流程检查现有环境并生成或应用部署计划，用于日常运维与变更自动化。

**Best for:** 希望用交互式 agent 检查基础设施并生成变更计划的云平台团队

**Works with:** AWS/GCP/Cloudflare 工具链、终端工作流、按需接入 GitHub 等集成（以文档为准）

**Setup time:** 6-12 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub：292 stars · 15 forks；最近更新 2026-05-12。
- 许可证：MIT；作者头像与仓库链接均已通过 GitHub API 复核。
- README 中核对过的入口命令：`brew install clanker`。

## Main

- 把它当“终端里的系统工程师”：围绕现有环境提问，逐步收敛到可执行的计划。

- 把变更做安全：把输出当 proposal，分阶段应用，并对生产影响的 diff 强制人工评审。

- 结合可观测性（日志/指标）一起用，让计划基于真实信号而不是猜测。

### Source-backed notes

- README 将 Clanker 定位为云端系统工程的自主 CLI agent。
- README 提供 Homebrew tap 安装方式（`brew tap ...` + `brew install clanker`）。
- README 提供 docs 站点链接 docs.clankercloud.ai。

### FAQ

- **推荐用 Homebrew 安装吗？**：README 提供该路径，但也提示可能落后于源码版本。
- **它会自动改生产吗？**：它能引导 apply 流程；为安全起见建议保持人工审核。
- **文档在哪里？**：README 链接到 docs.clankercloud.ai。
