| description | Install, update, version-check, or uninstall the Coco open-source AI workflow framework via its CLI (@coco-research/coco-cli, run with npx).

Triggers on "install coco", "update coco", "set up coco", "coco cli", "uninstall coco". |
coco-cli โ manage the Coco framework
Thin agent wrapper over @coco-research/coco-cli (run via npx). Drives the real CLI; does not reimplement it.
Commands
| Command | Purpose | Invocation |
|---|
| (default) | clone + install, auto-detecting the adapter | npx @coco-research/coco-cli |
install | clone + install with explicit flags | npx @coco-research/coco-cli install [flags] |
update | pull latest in an existing clone | npx @coco-research/coco-cli update [dir] |
uninstall | remove symlinks + the clone | npx @coco-research/coco-cli uninstall [dir] |
version | print version + check for updates | npx @coco-research/coco-cli version |
--help | print usage | npx @coco-research/coco-cli --help |
Install flags (passed through to install.sh)
--adapter <name> โ one of claude-code | cursor | codex | generic--systems <list> โ comma-separated, e.g. gsd,brain,team--dry-run โ preview only, no writes
Examples
- Install for Cursor:
npx @coco-research/coco-cli install --adapter cursor
- Selective systems:
npx @coco-research/coco-cli install --systems gsd,brain --adapter claude-code
- Preview without writing:
npx @coco-research/coco-cli install --dry-run
- Update an existing clone:
npx @coco-research/coco-cli 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 @coco-research/coco-cli vX.Y.Z plus an update hint โ 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 โ 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.
