acsetra 0.1.12

Runner CLI — author and run hosted Runner apps from your terminal (the `runner` command).

acsetra — the Runner CLI

A thin client for building and running hosted Runner apps from your terminal. It holds no framework logic: every authoring command serializes to {op, args} and is POSTed to the hosted API, where validation, reserved-code guards, and doctor compiles all run server-side. You get the grammar of the framework, not its implementation.

Install

pipx install acsetra        # recommended (isolated)
# or: pip install acsetra
runner signin

Exposes three console scripts — runner (primary), acsetra (brand alias), and r (continuity with ./r).

Quick start

runner signin                              # device-flow sign-in; caches a token
runner whoami
runner app create crm --label "CRM"        # create an app scope in your workspace
runner set put crm contacts ada --json '{"role":"eng"}'
runner read contacts -S <workspace>.crm
runner doctor <workspace>.crm && runner compile <workspace>.crm
runner auth crm                            # gate the app behind pen.acsetra.com sign-in
runner dev <workspace>.crm                 # open the app's hosted surface in your browser

How it fits together

• runner signin runs the OAuth device flow: it prints a URL + code, you approve in the browser, and the CLI caches a token at ~/.config/acsetra/credentials (0600).
• runner docs pull writes CLAUDE.md + .runner/docs/* — a compact model of the framework, the exact command grammar, and a live skeleton of your app — so a coding agent (Claude Code) has the context it needs to build with runner.
• The hosted DB is the source of truth. Local files are instructions and mirrors, never runtime source. runner checkout produces disposable working copies under .tmp/ for grep and inspection; runner dev <app> just opens the live hosted surface in your browser.
