About
Caret is a design system for command-line interfaces, modeled after the shadcn/ui approach for the web. It provides 80+ copy-paste components that are added directly into your repository, requiring no runtime dependency. The system includes a token system, NO_COLOR support, and AI-native instruction files to help agents generate correct Caret code.
Problem
CLI tools lack a unified design system, leading to inconsistent colors, mismatched libraries, and poor respect for terminal environments.

developers building command-line interface tools
How it works
Running `npx caret add <component>` copies individual components directly into your repo so you own and can modify the source, with no runtime dependency required.
