# CLI Reference

> **This page has moved.** The canonical CLI documentation is now at [CLI & Chain Binary](/for-developers/cli.md).

The CLI surface is flat verb-first — every command lives at `bb <verb>`. The previous `bb cli <subcmd>` infix is deprecated and prints a stderr banner during the migration window; the release after the window removes it. See the [overview](/for-developers/cli.md#deprecation-runway--the-old-bb-cli-and-standalone-names-still-work) for the full mapping. Start here:

* [**Installation**](/for-developers/cli/installation.md) — install the chain binary + Node CLI in one shot
* [**Build Commands**](/for-developers/cli/build-commands.md) — flag-based generators (`build vault`, `build subscription`, `build bounty`, …)
* [**Analysis Commands**](/for-developers/cli/analysis-commands.md) — `check` (validate / review / verify folded), `explain`, `simulate`, `preview`
* [**Deploy Commands**](/for-developers/cli/deploy-commands.md) — `deploy --burner` for the keyless faucet path
* [**Tool Commands**](/for-developers/cli/tool-commands.md) — fine-grained MCP `tool` / `tools` registry, persisted `session`, static `resources`
* [**Utility Commands**](/for-developers/cli/utility-commands.md) — `docs`, `skills`, `address`, `alias`, `lookup`, `gen-list-id`, `doctor`
* [**API Commands**](/for-developers/cli/api-commands.md) — 104+ indexer routes
* [**Auth Commands**](/for-developers/cli/auth-commands.md) — wallet-agnostic SIWBB sessions
* [**Chain Commands**](/for-developers/cli/chain-commands.md) — `bitbadgeschaind` keys, transactions, queries
* [**CLI for AI Agents**](/for-developers/cli/for-ai-agents.md) — agent workflows and automation patterns
