# axiom client create

Create a new, empty Client Builder client

Create a new Client Builder client: a named, tenant-scoped bundle of nodes
and flows that later builds into a typed SDK.

A client starts empty and picks no language at creation — add members and
build with the console (Console → Client Builder) or a follow-on "axiom
client" subcommand, then pick languages per build.

```text
axiom client create billing
axiom client create billing --description "Billing SDK" --language python
axiom client create billing --json    # machine-readable output
```

Requires a prior "axiom login".

## Usage

```sh
axiom client create <name> [flags]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Shorthand | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `--description` |  | string |  | Optional client description |
| `--help` | `-h` | bool |  | help for create |
| `--json` |  | bool |  | Emit a single JSON result object |
| `--language` |  | string |  | Default SDK language (python, go, typescript, java, csharp, rust) |
