`content` — Content CLI

A thin command-line client for the Content engine, built on the official Python SDK (content_sdk) — it never speaks HTTP itself and never runs the planner, yt-dlp or ffmpeg. Ergonomic shortcuts (video, audio) are normalized to canonical GenerationRequests; there is no parallel contract.

Install

The CLI is an ordinary Python application — nothing to clone:

uv tool install content-cli     # isolated, on your PATH — recommended
content --help

# or
pipx install content-cli

content-cli on PyPI pulls content-sdk as an ordinary dependency, pinned to the matching release. The wheels are also attached to each GitHub release for air-gapped installs (uv tool install ./content_cli-<v>-py3-none-any.whl --find-links .).

From a clone

pip install ./packages/python-sdk ./apps/cli     # exposes `content`

For development

make install    # editable installs of the engine, SDK, CLI and MCP in one venv

Build the distributions yourself with make wheels (they land in dist/).

Point it at your engine

--api-url URL or CONTENT_API_URL (default http://localhost:8010):

export CONTENT_API_URL=http://nas.local:8010
content health

Commands

content health
content config
content analyze https://youtu.be/… [--credential youtube]
content analysis <analysis_id>           # re-fetch a stored analysis (ADR 0014)
content video  https://youtu.be/… --height 1080 --container mkv --subs en,fr --watch
content audio  https://youtu.be/… --format opus --folder music --name track --watch
content video  https://…/playlist?list=… --playlist --watch      # each item
content submit request.json --watch      # raw GenerationRequest (or - for stdin)
content jobs
content job    <job_id>
content watch  <job_id>
content artifacts <job_id>
content download <artifact_id> -o out.mkv
content cancel <job_id> ; content retry <job_id>

Global flags: --api-url URL and --json (raw JSON output) go before the subcommand. Exit code is non-zero on API errors or a failed watched job.

Exit codes when watching a job

content ... --watch and content watch <job> return the outcome, so a script can chain on it (ADR 0021):

Code	Meaning
`0`	`succeeded` — everything asked for was produced
`2`	`partially_succeeded` — some of it was, and at least one step failed
`1`	`failed` or `cancelled`

2 is deliberately distinct from 1. A playlist that yielded five videos of six, or a download whose delivery into your library was refused, is not a failure — but it is not a success either, and a script that treats it as one will quietly move on with missing files.
