This is a very opinionated set of components for building CLI applications.
It is based on [Rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich)

```bash
pip install rich-toolkit
```

Rich toolkit comes with an `App` class, this is used to give a consistent
style to your CLI application, it can be used as a context manager, like so:

```python
TODO: new example
```

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Rich Toolkit provides opinionated CLI application components built on Rich, offering styled context managers and utilities for consistent command-line interfaces.

Verdict: Rich Toolkit is a low-friction, actively maintained CLI framework with permissive MIT licensing and no known vulnerabilities. It's well-positioned for developers building styled command-line applications, though its Beta status (Development Status 4) suggests API stability should be monitored.
