AnyTask CLI v0.12 - TypeScript Rewrite

AnyTask CLI v0.12 is a complete rewrite from Python to TypeScript, providing faster startup times, better type safety, and seamless integration with the AnyTask monorepo.

Highlights

Complete TypeScript Rewrite

The CLI has been completely rewritten in TypeScript:

• Faster startup - No Python interpreter overhead
• Type safety - Full TypeScript with strict mode
• Monorepo integration - Shares types with web application
• Modern tooling - ESM modules, Commander.js, Orval-generated API clients

New Package Name

The package has moved from PyPI to npm:

• Old: anyt on PyPI (Python)
• New: @bsheng/anyt on npm (TypeScript)

Unified Command Structure

All commands are now subcommands under anyt:

# Worker command (changed)
anyt worker start    # Previously: anyt-worker start

# All other commands remain the same
anyt task list
anyt login

npm install -g @bsheng/anyt

3. Update worker command:

# Old

Configuration is automatically migrated on first run.

Architecture

The TypeScript CLI is part of the AnyTask monorepo:

apps/cli/           # CLI application
packages/anyt/
├── cli-sdk/        # Generated API client for CLI
├── web-sdk/        # Generated API client for web
└── api-client-core/ # Shared HTTP client

API clients are auto-generated from the backend's OpenAPI spec using Orval, ensuring type-safe API calls that stay in sync with the backend.
