exemplar-cli 0.1.3

Exemplar terminal CLI for skills, prompts, and memory

exemplar-cli

Terminal CLI for Exemplar skills and memory.

Install

Recommended — isolated install with automatic PATH setup:

pipx install exemplar-cli

Other options:

# System / python.org install (macOS, Linux)
pip install exemplar-cli

# User install (no sudo)
pip install --user exemplar-cli

After install, verify everything:

exemplar doctor

If you see command not found: exemplar, the package is installed but its bin/ directory is not on your PATH. exemplar doctor prints the exact fix for your machine. Common cases:

Install method	Scripts directory
pipx install	~/.local/bin (pipx adds this automatically)
python.org macOS	/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.x/bin
pip install --user	~/Library/Python/3.x/bin (macOS) or ~/.local/bin (Linux)

Open a new terminal after changing shell profile files.
