• --session SESSION_ID, -s SESSION_ID - Continue an existing conversation

Examples:

Single Question:

laurelin chat "Explain magnetic confinement fusion"

Interactive Mode:

laurelin chat --interactive

You> What is plasma confinement time?
Laurelin (gemini-pro): Plasma confinement time (τE) is a measure of how well
a fusion device retains energy in the plasma...

You> How does it relate to the Lawson criterion?
Laurelin (gemini-pro): The Lawson criterion establishes the minimum conditions...

Continue Previous Session:

laurelin chat -s abc12345 "What about inertial confinement?"

Exit Interactive Mode: Type exit, quit, or q to end the session.

Configuration

Configuration Files

All configuration files are stored in ~/.laurelin/:

~/.laurelin/credentials.json

• Stores access and refresh tokens
• Permissions: 600 (user read/write only)
• Automatically created on first login

~/.laurelin/config.json

• CLI configuration settings
• API endpoint preferences
• Automatically managed by CLI

Environment Variables

LAURELIN_API_URL

• Override the default API endpoint
• Useful for testing or enterprise deployments

export LAURELIN_API_URL=https://custom-api.example.com
laurelin status

API Endpoints

Production (Default):

https://api.laurelin-inc.com

Development:

http://localhost:8080

Switch between environments using login flags:

# Production
laurelin login --production

# Development
laurelin login --dev

---

Security

Laurelin CLI implements multiple security measures:

• Secure Token Storage - Credentials stored with 600 permissions (user-only access)
• Automatic Token Refresh - Access tokens expire after 1 hour; refresh tokens automatically renew them
• HTTPS Encryption - All production API communication uses HTTPS
• Location Verification - US-only access enforcement for ITAR/EAR compliance
• No Password Storage - Only tokens are stored locally; passwords never saved

Security Best Practices:

• Never share your CLI tokens
• Generate separate tokens for each device
• Revoke unused tokens from the web interface
• Use laurelin logout on shared machines

---

Admin Access

Admin users (Laurelin team members) have unrestricted CLI access:

Admin Privileges:

• Bypass subscription requirements
• Unrestricted token generation
• Access to all CLI features
• Development environment access

Current Admin Team:

• [e-mail]
• [e-mail]

Development

Local Development Setup

Install in development mode for testing:

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/laurelin-inc/laurelin-cli.git
cd laurelin-cli

# Install in editable mode
pip install -e .

# Login with development endpoint
laurelin login --dev

Testing Connection

Verify your setup:

# Check authentication status
laurelin status

# Test with a simple query
laurelin chat "Hello, Laurelin!"

# List your tokens
laurelin tokens

Running Local Backend

If developing against a local backend:

# Start local backend on port 8080
cd laurelin-chat-backend
python app/main.py

# In another terminal, use dev mode
laurelin login --dev
laurelin chat "Test message"

---

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"Not authenticated" error:

# Solution: Login first
laurelin login

"Cannot connect to API" warning:

# Check your internet connection
# Verify API endpoint
laurelin status

# Try logging in again
laurelin logout
laurelin login --production

Token expired errors:

• The CLI automatically refreshes tokens
• If issues persist, login again: laurelin login

Permission denied on credentials file:

# Fix file permissions
chmod 600 ~/.laurelin/credentials.json
