• hte-cli tasks list - List your pending tasks
• hte-cli tasks run [TASK_ID] - Run a task (defaults to highest priority)
• hte-cli tasks pull-images - Pre-pull Docker images for upcoming tasks
• hte-cli version - Show version info

System Requirements

All Platforms

• Python 3.11+
• Docker with Docker Compose v2

Windows

• Docker Desktop with WSL2 backend enabled
• WSL2 installed and configured (Microsoft docs)

macOS

• Docker Desktop (Intel or Apple Silicon)
• Note: Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) runs x86 containers via emulation - expect slightly slower performance

Linux

• Docker Engine 20.10+
• User added to docker group: sudo usermod -aG docker $USER (log out and back in after)

Developer Notes

This CLI is a thin wrapper with no consequential research decisions. It:

• Wraps Inspect AI's human_cli agent for task execution
• Syncs results to the backend API
• Handles authentication via OAuth-style code exchange

The research-relevant code lives elsewhere:

• Task sampling: scripts/sample_tasks_for_trials.py
• Scoring criteria: src/human_ttc_eval/datasets/*/
• Methodology: docs/methodology/human-expert-methodology-guide.md
