YEN llms.txtTerminal use case
terminal IDE workflows without leaving the shell
YEN is not trying to replace editors. It adds local IDE-style commands to the terminal so build, test, review, and evidence loops stay close to the shell.
Use this page if you already trust terminal workflows and want structured local helpers without centering an editor.

Every point here is either tied to YEN docs or framed as a workflow distinction from official product positioning.

YEN docsEvidence discipline
YEN's docs describe shared evidence vocabulary and linked artifact blocks for review, workflow, and quality outputs.
