ct

What problem does it solve?

Interacting with a distributed computing platform like CommonTools, managing deployed instances (charms), and orchestrating data flows can be complex. This skill provides a comprehensive guide to the ct command-line interface, simplifying deployment, management, and debugging of reactive recipes and charms.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Charm Lifecycle Management: Deploy new recipes, update existing charms, and inspect their state with clear commands.
• Reactive Data Linking: Establish dynamic data flows between charms, enabling complex, automated workflows.
• Local Recipe Testing: Rapidly iterate and debug recipes locally using ct dev before deployment.
• Use Case: A developer has built a new recipe and needs to deploy it to a CommonTools space, link its output to another existing charm, and then inspect the data flow. This skill provides the exact ct commands and best practices to achieve this efficiently.

Quick Start

Type check and execute a recipe locally:

./dist/ct dev ./recipe.tsx
