---

## 📦 Installation

Install ArgøNaut using pip:
```bash
pip install argonautCli
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

```python
from argonaut import Argonaut


parser = Argonaut(description="My awesome CLI tool")
parser.add("--name", help="Your name")
parser.add("--age", type=int, help="Your age")
args = parser.parse()

print(f"Hello, {args['name']}! You are {args['age']} years old.")
```

## 🔧 Advanced Usage

### Asynchronous Support

```python
import asyncio
from argonaut import Argonaut


parser = Argonaut()
parser.add("--async-option", help="An async option")

async def main():
   args = await parser.parse_async()
   result = await parser.execute_plugin_async("my_plugin", args)
   
print(result)
```

### Environment Variables

```python
from argonaut import Argonaut


parser = Argonaut()
parser.add("--api-key", env_var="API_KEY", help="API key (can be set via API_KEY env var)")
args = parser.parse()

print(f"API Key: {args['api_key']}")
```

## 🔌 Plugin System

ArgøNaut features a powerful plugin system that allows you to extend the functionality of your CLI applications.

```python
from argonaut import Plugin, PluginMetadata
import asyncio


class MyPlugin(Plugin):
   @property
   def metadata(self) -> PluginMetadata:
      return PluginMetadata(
      name="my_plugin",
      version="1.0.0",
      description="A sample plugin for ArgøNaut",
      author="Your Name",
      website="https://example.com",
      tags=["sample", "demo"]
      )

   def initialize(self, context):
      self.context = context
   def execute(self, args):
      return f"Hello from MyPlugin! Args: {args}"
   async def execute_async(self, args):
      # Asynchronous execution method
      return await some_async_operation(args)

def on_load(self):
print("Plugin loaded")

def on_unload(self):
print("Plugin unloaded")

def on_command_execution(self, command):
print(f"Command '{command}' is being executed")
```
