CLI Usage

Amp CLI can be integrated with other command-line tools. Use the -x flag for execute mode or pipe input directly:

# Analyze processes
ps aux > processes.txt | amp -x 'identify processes consuming the most resources in processes.txt'

# Parse whois data
whois example.com | amp -x 'organize and condense this whois information'

# Analyze HTTP headers
curl -Is https://github.com > headers.txt && amp -x 'analyze the http headers in headers.txt and determine the tech stack'

# Check npm dependencies
npm list --json | amp -x 'identify outdated or vulnerable dependencies'

Security & Best Practices

When using AI coding agents, consider these security aspects:

• Amp Security Reference - Official security documentation and guidelines.
• Amp Permissions - Control what actions the agent can perform.

Key recommendations:

• Always review AI-generated code before committing
• Never include API keys or secrets in prompts or AGENTS.md files
• Consider running agents in isolated environments for sensitive projects
• Vet MCP servers before installation
