coco-cli — manage the Coco framework

Thin agent wrapper over `cocosuperintelligence` (run via `npx`). Drives the real CLI; does not reimplement it.

Commands

| Command | Purpose | Invocation | |---|---|---| | (default) | clone + install, auto-detecting the adapter | `npx cocosuperintelligence` | | `install` | clone + install with explicit flags | `npx cocosuperintelligence install [flags]` | | `update` | pull latest in an existing clone | `npx cocosuperintelligence update [dir]` | | `uninstall` | remove symlinks + the clone | `npx cocosuperintelligence uninstall [dir]` | | `version` | print version + check for updates | `npx cocosuperintelligence version` | | `--help` | print usage | `npx cocosuperintelligence --help` |

Install flags (passed through to install.sh)

  • `--adapter <name>` — one of `claude-code` | `cursor` | `codex` | `generic`
  • `--systems <list>` — comma-separated, e.g. `gsd,brain,team`
  • `--dry-run` — preview only, no writes

Examples

  • Install for Cursor: `npx cocosuperintelligence install --adapter cursor`
  • Selective systems: `npx cocosuperintelligence install --systems gsd,brain --adapter claude-code`
  • Preview without writing: `npx cocosuperintelligence install --dry-run`
  • Update an existing clone: `npx cocosuperintelligence update`

Output contract

This CLI is human-output-oriented; it has **no native `--json` mode**. For agent use:

  • Treat **exit code 0 = success**, non-zero = failure.
  • `version` prints `cocosuperintelligence vX.Y.Z` plus an update hint — parse the `vX.Y.Z` token.
  • Capture stdout/stderr and branch on the exit code; do not assume machine-readable JSON.

Errors

  • A non-zero exit means an underlying git or `install.sh` step failed — surface the captured stdout + stderr to the user.
  • Update checks contact `github.com` only; on network failure the version check degrades quietly and the command still runs.

Notes

  • Side effects: `install` clones the repo and creates symlinks; `uninstall` removes them. `install`/`update` re-pull, so they are not no-ops.
  • Network egress: `github.com` only. No telemetry. Disable update checks with `COCO_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1`.
  • Prerequisites: `node`/`npx`, `git`, and `bash`.
