mycelium-cli

name	mycelium-cli
description	Operate a Mycelium idea instance with the mycelium CLI: scaffold, generate registered artifacts, check conformance, change tier, lifecycle transitions, wake, handoff, index, status, publish, and supersede. Use when working inside an idea repo that has mycelium.toml, or when the human asks for mycelium commands. Does not commit to git unless the human asks.

Mycelium CLI

The CLI is the ledger. Prefer the session skill to pick a ritual, then use these commands.

Commands

Command	Purpose
mycelium version	Print stamped version string
mycelium new idea <name> with flags --dir, --offline, --publish, --tier	Scaffold idea; always git init; never commit
mycelium new <type> <title> [--dir PATH]	Generate next ID for a registered type
mycelium check [--dir PATH]	Convention conformance
mycelium tier <tier> [--dir PATH]	Set tier; emit newly required dirs only; never delete
mycelium state <target> [--dir PATH] [--revisit …]	Lifecycle transition
mycelium wake [--dir PATH]	Simmering → exploring ritual (writes re-entry brief)
mycelium handoff [--dir PATH]	Write handoff/PACKET.md then set state = handed-off (from clarified only)
mycelium status [--dir PATH]	Single-instance status
mycelium status --all [--offline]	Portfolio listing (local + GitHub when available)
mycelium index [--dir PATH]	Rebuild index.md
mycelium publish [--dir PATH]	GitHub create/topic when authenticated
mycelium supersede <OLD-ID> --by <NEW-ID> [--dir PATH]	Artifact supersede (bidirectional cross-links + log line)

Exit 0 on success, 1 on failure.

Handoff

mycelium handoff [--dir PATH] writes the implementation packet at handoff/PACKET.md, then sets state = handed-off. Legal only from clarified. handed-off is terminal except archived.

Refuse cases (teaching error, exit 1, no writes):

• not clarified — legal only from clarified
• handoff/PACKET.md already exists — use mycelium state handed-off instead
• mycelium state handed-off without a passing packet — run mycelium handoff first

The packet is handoff/PACKET.md. Do not treat v1 session-attachment manifests as the packet.

Supersede

mycelium supersede <OLD-ID> --by <NEW-ID> [--dir PATH] is artifact-level. It sets OLD status = "Superseded" + superseded_by, and NEW supersedes. It does not change idea state and does not implement handed-off.

Eligible: DEC, ASM, EVD, SPK. Refuse (teaching error, exit 1, no writes):

• ineligible type (including OQ — open a new question instead)
• idea-state token as an ID (spark, exploring, …)
• OLD already Superseded
• NEW already has supersedes (one-to-one this phase)
• different namespace, missing IDs, OLD == NEW

Idea lifecycle stays mycelium state / wake.

Sparring

Sparring surface is mycelium new question, mycelium new assumption, mycelium new decision, mycelium new spike, mycelium check, plus the thinking skill. No think / spar verb.

Perspective ladder

When program/packs/council/ is present, ladder surface is mycelium new commissioning, mycelium new model-report, mycelium new reconciliation, mycelium check, plus pack skills council and second-opinion. No portable council CLI. No council / ladder / replicate verb.

Runtimes that cannot fan out skip rungs 2–3; sparring still applies.

Skills on scaffold

New mycelium new idea scaffolds emit .agents/skills/{session,mycelium-cli,spark,thinking,simmer,wake,clarify,handoff,portfolio,council,second-opinion}/SKILL.md when the pack is present. tier, index, state, and wake do not retrofit skills. Existing instances: re-scaffold or copy the pack manually.

Manual floor

Hand-edit Markdown is allowed. Keep front matter, required H2s, and ID-to-path filenames. Run mycelium check after edits.

Teaching-error shape

mycelium: <one-line failure>
convention: <name>
contract: program/contracts/<file>.md
fix: <command or rename>

Git

Do not git commit unless the human asks. The CLI never commits.
