Toolkit

Overview

The book describes a methodology. The toolkit is what makes it runnable. cdad is an open source command-line tool you install and point at a repository, and it carries the whole adoption loop, from a first legibility check through prioritizing what to extract, scaffolding contracts, validating them, and mapping how they connect.

This section covers the practical side of adopting it: how to get it installed and run your first command, a shorter tour of all five commands in one place, and where to go to check the source itself. If you want the deep, one-command-per-page treatment, that lives under How C-DAD Works.
