SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Non-invasive CLI overlays let teams customize Maestro command behavior by injecting JSON patches without touching core code, enabling safer experimentation and quick rollbacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Non-invasive patching: augment existing commands with minimal risk by applying JSON patches stored in ~/.maestro/overlays.
  • End-to-end overlay workflow: intent parsing, target identification, patch drafting, installation, and verification.
  • Re-apply after reinstall: overlays are re-applied automatically during maestro install to preserve custom behavior.

Quick Start

Describe your intent, generate the overlay patch, and install it with maestro overlay add.
