Developer interfaces
Start with the signed CLI Preview and check which developer interfaces are available today.
Overview
The public developer entry point is Altifigence CLI Preview for Linux x86_64. The 0.1.9 interface includes native XLS/CUDA and DDS operations, a verified installation bootstrap, and explicitly scoped Cloud/service connections. Check the download page for release availability before following versioned examples.
Start Here
Download the signed CLI archive from the official Downloads page.
Verify the Ed25519 signatures and pinned key before extracting or executing the download.
Complete Linux installation using the embedded bootstrap.
Check the installed capabilities and use leaf command help.
Follow CLI First Success for CPU XLS execution and the separate offline preflight receipt.
Continue with CLI for installation and limitations, and Command Reference for discovery.
Current Interfaces
Interface | Current use | Availability |
|---|---|---|
CLI Preview | Native XLS, bounded CUDA/RTL, DDS files/Git/settings/authoring/search, and offline preflight | Linux x86_64; authenticated installed layout required for protected local runners |
Packaged | Stdio process on the user’s machine | Default customer Cloud mode, or explicit |
Native DDS Cloud CLI | Browser PKCE, verified identity, scoped workspace operations/search/terminal |
|
Hosted MCP | Published ChatGPT read tools and scoped Cloud MCP contracts | Five read tools in plugin v1.0.0; expanded tools require release, policy and fresh consent |
Desktop browser sign-in | Account and protected-tool access for Digital Design Studio, including ISA | Separate from CLI credentials and automation |
General Public API | Use documented typed CLI contracts | Native CLI routes do not imply an unrestricted raw-request API or enable every service operation |
A command can still need an installed engine, account permission, or remote service. Check the command page before adding it to automation. The local stdio and hosted HTTP MCP transports also have separate setup and availability.
