Metis: Build AI environments, not setup scripts

When developers start building RAG, Agent, or MCP applications, a lot of time still goes into the setup around the code — Docker, dependencies, environment variables, vector databases, Redis, health checks, and project structure.

Metis is an open-source CLI that helps scaffold and evolve those local development environments.

A few examples:

metis init rag
metis init agent
metis init mcp-server

You can also extend and validate an existing project:
metis add rag
metis inspect
metis doctor

The goal is simple: spend less time wiring the environment and more time building the AI capability.

If you find the idea useful, please star the repo, try it out, or contribute.
