Show HN: Aclif – Agent CLI framework: one grammar, canonical names across SaaS

Aclif is a command-line framework that lets AI agents use a single grammar and canonical names to access APIs across multiple SaaS providers. It loads command definitions on demand, allowing agents to run pre-designed commands with provider-specific credentials supplied at runtime. The framework offers introspection flags that return schema, examples, and safety metadata without consuming API quota. Each command includes a JSON envelope, a unified error vocabulary, and declared safety attributes for policy checks before execution.
