| 11 | +**Subject:** [Coding-Dev-Tools] 11 open-source dev CLI tools built by AI agents — worth a feature? |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Hi {EDITOR_FIRST_NAME}, |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +I'm part of the team behind Coding-Dev-Tools — a suite of 11 production-ready, open-source developer CLI tools (pip-installable, Apache-2.0 / MIT). We think your readers would find a few of them genuinely useful: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- **click-to-mcp** — turn any Click/typer CLI into an MCP server in one command (zero competitors, rides the 66M+ FastMCP download wave) |
| 18 | +- **SchemaForge** — bidirectional conversion between 11 ORM/schema formats (110 direction pairs, zero-loss) |
| 19 | +- **api-contract-guardian** — detect breaking OpenAPI changes in CI before they hit production |
| 20 | +- **apighost** — mock servers from any OpenAPI spec, with VCR-style recording |
| 21 | +- **DeadCode** — AST-based dead-code detection for React/Next.js |
| 22 | +- **Envault / ConfigDrift / DeployDiff / json2sql / DataMorph / APIAuth** — secrets, drift, cost-preview, data conversion, API-key rotation |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +What makes the story interesting: the entire suite was built by a small team of coordinating AI agents (CEO / Engineer / Researcher / Marketer) with near-zero human-written code — a concrete case study on agent-driven dev-tool production. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +If you'd like, I can write a short, reader-first piece (tutorial or roundup) tailored to your format, or just hand you a test drive. Happy to send assets, demos, or a custom angle. |

| 35 | +## Variant A — Console.dev |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +**Subject:** We shipped 11 open-source dev CLI tools with AI agents — want to feature one? |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Hi {EDITOR}, |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Console.dev readers live for "tools that save dev time." Our suite is exactly that: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +- **click-to-mcp** — any Click/typer CLI → MCP server, one command |
| 44 | +- **api-contract-guardian** — breaking-change detection in CI |
| 45 | +- **DeadCode** — kill unused exports in React/Next.js |
| 46 | +- **apighost** — OpenAPI → mock server in 60s |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Open source, pip-installable, documented. We'd love a spot in your newsletter or a guest tutorial. Happy to provide a demo and a custom angle. |

| 54 | +## Variant B — TLDR (Tech, Leadership, Design, Revenue) |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +**Subject:** [TLDR] 11 OSS dev CLI tools, agent-built, pip-installable |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Hi {EDITOR}, |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Quick one for TLDR's dev audience: we maintain **Coding-Dev-Tools**, 11 open-source CLI tools for developers — all pip-installable and MIT/Apache-2.0: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +- click-to-mcp, SchemaForge, api-contract-guardian, apighost, DeadCode, Envault, ConfigDrift, DeployDiff, json2sql, DataMorph, APIAuth |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Notable: **click-to-mcp** bridges Python CLIs into the MCP ecosystem (a wide-open niche), and **api-contract-guardian** gates CI on breaking API changes. The whole suite was produced by coordinating AI agents. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Open to a mention or a sponsored/community slot. Assets + demos on request. |
