# ElevenLabs CLI: agents as code, full API in terminal

The tool exposes the company's full API in the terminal and introduces agents-as-code workflows for local configuration and version control.

- Supports pulling workspace agent configurations into local files to preview diffs and push updates across development and production branches.
- Includes a --schema flag alongside structured JSON outputs and errors designed for autonomous coding agents to parse.
- Ships with a --dry-run mode to preview operations before applying changes to workspaces.
- Provides packaged skills to automate tasks like building agents, generating speech, and transcribing calls.
- Available for installation across macOS and Windows.

## Why it matters

Developers and automated coding agents can now version-control, scaffold, and deploy ElevenLabs voice agents directly through local codebases instead of web dashboards.
