A blazing-fast, composable CLI toolkit for modern workflows.

arrow is an open-source command-line tool built for developers who live in the terminal. Chain commands, script pipelines, and automate anything - with a clean, human-readable syntax.

Features

  • Composable pipeline syntax - chain commands with pipes
  • Plugin ecosystem - extend core functionality with community plugins
  • Configuration via TOML - simple, human-readable project settings
  • Parallel execution - run steps concurrently for faster builds
  • Watch mode - automatically re-run on file changes
  • Cross-platform - macOS, Linux, and Windows (WSL2) support

Philosophy

arrow was born from a simple observation: modern development workflows are increasingly complex, but the tools we use to orchestrate them do not have to be. We believe that a CLI should be transparent, composable, and fast. Every command should do exactly what it says, and every pipeline should be readable at a glance.
