codeer-cli 0.1.0

Command line tools for managing Codeer agents over the Codeer API.

codeer-cli

Standalone CLI for managing Codeer agents over the Codeer API.

User install

After the package is published to PyPI, install the CLI as an isolated command line tool:

uv tool install codeer-cli

Until the package is published, install directly from this repository:

uv tool install 'git+https://github.com/<org>/codeer-skills.git#subdirectory=codeer-cli'

Replace <org> with the GitHub organization or user that hosts this repository.

Verify that the command is available:

codeer --help

Credentials

The CLI expects credentials to be configured outside any skill workspace. Add a named profile, select it, then verify the setup:

codeer profile add work
codeer profile use work
codeer check

codeer profile add prompts for the API key without echoing it. The local project stores only the selected profile name in .codeer/profile; API keys remain in the user-level config file.

For a one-off shell session, you can also export an API key directly:

export CODEER_API_KEY=<admin-workspace-api-key>
codeer check

CODEER_API_BASE defaults to https://api.codeer.ai. Override it only for local, beta, or preview environments:

export CODEER_API_BASE=http://localhost:8000

The CLI intentionally does not read repo-root credential files or caller CWD .env, because those files are often visible to LLM workspace context. Do not paste the API key into agent chat or commit it to the repository.

Workspace and organization scope are inferred from the workspace API-key virtual user's profile. --workspace, --org, CODEER_WORKSPACE_ID, and CODEER_ORGANIZATION_ID are not used by the CLI.

Agent scope is optional and can be set as a non-secret environment variable:

CODEER_AGENT_ID=<agent-id>

Development install

Use an editable install while the CLI is changing quickly:

cd /path/to/codeer-skills/codeer-cli
uv tool install --editable .

Reinstall only when dependencies, entry points, or package metadata change:

uv tool install --reinstall --editable /path/to/codeer-skills/codeer-cli

Validate setup before API work:

codeer check
