edithatogo/fyi-cli

**A multi-jurisdiction Freedom-of-Information (FOI) client for Alaveteli-based platforms** — track,
submit, and archive official information requests across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and any
other Alaveteli deployment (foi-repository, WhatDoTheyKnow, FragDenStaat, and
more), from a single privacy-focused CLI.
The project's core is a **Rust workspace** (fyi-core, fyi-cli, fyi-mcp); a legacy Python
package (fyi_system) remains available as a reference implementation but is no longer extended.

cargo-binstall is already **assets-ready** and wired in-repo, but still depends on matching GitHub Release assets before it can be treated as a live distribution path. Codex and Anthropic packets are assets-ready but still require external submission.
