Articles and tutorials
Step-by-step guides written while the tools were being built. Each one starts from nothing and ends with something that works.
Pick a tutorial
One controller, three endpoints (list, read one, insert), build from the menu and test in the browser. With every screen you are going to see and the first-time stumbles.
The same steps turned into commands you paste into PowerShell and can repeat: init, controller-add, endpoint-add, build and curl.
A tool that inspects and exports DBF tables, built from the IDE: commands that are methods of a class, help that writes itself, JSON output and exit codes. You hand it out by copying a folder.
You take the CLI from the first tutorial, build it as always and register it in Claude with one line. The agent discovers its commands and calls them, with no new code from you.
A command-line course that starts from what you already know about Visual FoxPro: what a CLI is, how a command is built, input, output and error, how to read help, and how to use all of that from VFP.
