@dewtech/dare-cli

CLI tool for the DARE Framework — Design, Architect, Review, Execute.

A structured methodology for AI-assisted software development with mandatory human-in-the-loop reviews and parallel task execution.

Installation

npm install -g @dewtech/dare-cli

Commands

dare init

Interactive project initialization — creates the full project structure with DARE methodology files, IDE rules and stack templates.

dare init my-project

Prompts:

• Structure: Monorepo · Backend only · Frontend only · MCP Server ← new
• MCP Server: language (TypeScript / Python), transport (stdio / SSE / HTTP Stream), capabilities (Tools / Resources / Prompts)
• Backend stack: Rust/Axum · Node.js/NestJS · Python/FastAPI · PHP/Laravel
• Frontend stack: React 18+ · Vue 3+
• IDE / Agent: Cursor · Antigravity · Hybrid
• GraphRAG backend: SQLite · JSON · Neo4j
• DARE MCP Server: context query server (saves ~95% tokens)

Generates:

• dare.config.json — project config
• .cursorrules / .antigravityrules — global IDE rules
• .cursor/rules/*.mdc — stack-specific skills
• .cursor/commands/ — DARE slash commands
• .agents/skills/ — Antigravity agent skills
• DARE/ — methodology directory (DESIGN, BLUEPRINT, TASKS, dag)
• Full project template ready to run (MCP server, backend or frontend)

dare discover ← new in v0.3.0

Detects an existing project's stack automatically and installs DARE files without touching your source code.

# Run inside an existing project
cd my-existing-project
dare discover

# Inspect only, no changes
dare discover --check

# Target a specific directory
dare discover --dir ./path/to/project

Auto-detects from: package.json, Cargo.toml, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, composer.json.

Recognizes: NestJS · React · Vue · Nuxt · Rust/Axum · FastAPI · Laravel · MCP Server (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, FastMCP).

dare design

Generate DARE/DESIGN.md from a project description.

dare design "Build a REST API for user authentication with JWT"

dare blueprint

Generate DARE/BLUEPRINT.md, dare-dag.yaml and TASKS.md from DESIGN.md.

dare blueprint

dare execute

Execute tasks from the DAG with optional parallel execution.

# Execute all tasks in parallel (75% faster)
dare execute --parallel --runner cursor

# Execute a specific task
dare execute task-001

# Sequential execution
dare execute

Full Workflow

# New project
dare init my-project
cd my-project
dare design "Describe what you're building"
dare blueprint
dare execute --parallel

# Existing project
cd my-existing-project
dare discover
dare design "Describe what you're building"
dare blueprint
dare execute --parallel

MCP Server Workflow

dare init my-mcp-server
# → Structure: MCP Server
# → Language: TypeScript
# → Transport: stdio
# → Capabilities: Tools, Resources

cd my-mcp-server
npm install
dare design "MCP server that exposes ZIP code lookup tools"
dare blueprint
dare execute --parallel

# Test with MCP Inspector
npm run inspect
