manifest-cli 1.0.0

Agent-native command-line interface for the Manifest model & dataset repository

manifest-cli

An agent-native command-line interface for a Manifest model & dataset repository server. Anything the web UI can do, the CLI can do — so an automated agent can operate the site with zero browser.

Design follows the CLI-Anything conventions: hierarchical group action commands, a universal --json flag for structured agent output, --help for capability discovery, and an interactive REPL. See SKILL.md for the agent-facing quick reference.

Install

pip install -e .
# point it at your server (default http://localhost:8080)
manifest cfg set-url http://your-host:8080

Quick start

manifest health
manifest stats
manifest repo list --type model --sort trending

manifest login alice --name "Alice"
manifest repo create alice/my-model --type model --task text-generation \
  -t demo --readme "# my-model"
manifest file add alice/my-model model.safetensors https://host/model.safetensors --size-mb 440
manifest repo get alice/my-model

manifest repl          # interactive session

Agent usage

Add --json to any command for structured output and rely on exit codes for success/failure:

manifest --json repo search whisper --limit 3
manifest --json repo get openai/whisper-large-v3

Configuration resolves in this order: CLI flag → environment (MANIFEST_URL, MANIFEST_USER) → ~/.manifest/config.json → defaults.

Run manifest --help (and manifest <group> --help) for the full surface.
