#### CircleCI command line tool

`circleci` is CircleCI's official command line tool. It is an agent-friendly CLI that brings CI runs, jobs, configuration, and other CircleCI features to the terminal right where you're already working.

Secure token storage requires connecting the password-manager interface: `sudo snap connect circleci:password-manager-service`. Without it, the token falls back to the config file.
