name	coco-cli
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 — 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> — 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 @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 — 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.
