ADR 001: Go as Implementation Language

Status

Accepted

Context

We need a CLI tool that is fast, produces a single binary, and is easy to distribute.

Decision

Use Go for the CLI implementation.

Consequences

• Single binary distribution, no runtime dependencies
• Fast startup time (critical for AI agent workflows)
• Strong standard library for HTTP and JSON
• cobra/viper ecosystem for CLI and config
