Following feedback about potentially misleading "Official" claims:

**README.md:**
- Removed "Official" from first line
- Added clear disclaimer: community project proposing what an official CLI could look like
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenWebUI team
- Added note on MIT vs BSD-3-Clause license difference

**docs/RFC.md:**
- Added prominent disclaimer at top
- Changed status from "Implementation-Ready" to "Community Proposal"
- Made clear this is a proposal, not a claim of official status
- Added "if OpenWebUI team isn't interested, that's fine" acknowledgment

The intent was always to propose, not to mislead. Language now reflects that accurately.

# OpenWebUI Official CLI - RFC Proposal
# OpenWebUI CLI - RFC Proposal
**Document Version:** 1.2
**Date:** November 30, 2025
**Author:** InfraFabric Team
**Author:** InfraFabric Team / Danny Stocker
**Target:** OpenWebUI Core Team Review
**Status:** DRAFT - Reviewed & Implementation-Ready
**Status:** DRAFT - Community Proposal
---
> **Disclaimer:** This RFC and the accompanying CLI implementation (`dannystocker/openwebui-cli`) are not affiliated with or endorsed by the OpenWebUI project. This is a community proposal demonstrating what an official CLI could look like, with the hope that the OpenWebUI team might find it useful.
>
> If the OpenWebUI team isn't interested in official adoption, that's completely fine - this will remain a community tool for anyone who finds it helpful.

## Executive Summary
We propose building an **official CLI for OpenWebUI** to complement the web interface. This CLI would enable developers, DevOps engineers, and power users to interact with OpenWebUI programmatically from the command line, enabling automation, scripting, and integration into CI/CD pipelines.
We'd like to propose building an **official CLI for OpenWebUI** to complement the web interface. This CLI would enable developers, DevOps engineers, and power users to interact with OpenWebUI programmatically from the command line, enabling automation, scripting, and integration into CI/CD pipelines.
**Why Now:**
- No official CLI exists (only `open-webui serve` to start server)
