🪴 tendr-tools 🎍

This repository provides lightweight, deterministic tool adapters so agents built with popular frameworks can call tendr-cli without ever touching raw files directly.

Everything stays 100% plaintext, git-safe, and cultivatable.

🤖 🚰 ✂️ Tend your 🎋 WikiBonsai digital garden with integrated tooling.

Why tendr-tools?

Most agent frameworks give agents raw filesystem or shell access.
That quickly leads to corrupted hierarchies, broken [[links]], and messy attributes.

tendr-tools gives agents a single safe entrypoint: Discrete, predictable tendr commands wrapped as native Tools (or Skills) for each framework.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/wikibonsai/tendr-tools.git
cd tendr-tools

Set your vault location (defaults to ~/.tendr/garden):

export TENDR_VAULT=~/path/to/your/garden

Available Integrations

Framework	Folder	File	Type
LangGraph / LangChain	langgraph/	tendr_tool.py	Tool
CrewAI	crewai/	tendr_tool.py	Tool
Letta	letta/	tendr_tool.py	Tool
OpenClaw	openclaw/	tendr_skill.md	Skill

Quick Start

See the README inside each framework folder for usage examples and code snippets.

All tools respect:

• TENDR_VAULT environment variable
• tendr-cli safety rules and auth mode (user vs agent)
• Your existing semtree, typed links, and CAML structure

Philosophy

A knowledge base that merely accumulates is a liability.
One that gets actively tended becomes an asset that appreciates over time. [Read more here]

These integrations make it easy for agents to cultivate instead of just retrieve.
