Can I use it in scripts and CI?

Yes. It is a plain binary with API-key auth, so it fits into shell scripts, Makefiles, git hooks, and CI pipelines like any other command-line tool.

How does pricing work?

The CLI runs on credits, the universal currency across all Developers Digest apps. Checking credits is free; commands that do AI work spend credits, with costs shown up front.

CLI

The whole platform, from your terminal

A private binary for members. Generate, pull skills, and check credits without leaving the shell, authenticated with your API key.

How it works

From zero to shipped in three steps

Step 1
Install and authenticate
Download the binary for your platform and authenticate once with your API key. The key ties the CLI to your account and your credit balance.
Step 2
Run a command
Use dd generate to create images and voice, dd skills to list and pull your skills, and dd credits to check your balance. Every command shows its credit cost before it spends.
Step 3
Wire it into your workflow
Because it is a plain binary with API-key auth, it fits into scripts, Makefiles, git hooks, and CI the same way any other CLI does.

Commands

Drive it from the shell

Authenticate once with your API key, then generate, pull skills, and check credits without leaving the terminal.

terminal

# authenticate once with your API key
export DD_API_KEY=dd_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# generate an image from a prompt
dd generate image "editorial hero, muted palette" --out hero.webp

# browse the skill library and pull one locally
dd skills list
dd skills pull agent-fleet-coordination

# check your universal credit balance

Five platforms

Prebuilt binaries for macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel, Linux on x64 and arm64, and Windows. Grab the one for your machine and go.

dd generate

Create images and voice from the command line. Pass a prompt, pick a model, and the result lands where your scripts expect it.

dd skills

List, inspect, and pull the skills on your account from the terminal with dd skills list, get, and pull, so a skill is one command away instead of a browser trip.

dd credits

Check your balance and recent usage without leaving the shell. The same universal credits power every command.

API-key auth, script-ready

Authenticate with your API key and the CLI drops into scripts, Makefiles, and CI. Rotate the key to cut access instantly.
