operator-cli

Culture agent operator — tracks relationships, dependencies, and ownership between mesh agents, and routes/assigns incoming requests to the right agent.

What you get

• An agent-first CLI cited from teken (afi-cli) — the runtime package has no third-party dependencies.
• A mesh identity — culture.yaml (suffix + backend) and the matching prompt file (CLAUDE.md for backend: claude).
• The canonical guildmaster skill kit (11 skills) under .claude/skills/, vendored cite-don't-import. See docs/skill-sources.md.
• A build + deploy baseline — pytest, lint, the agent-first rubric gate, and PyPI Trusted Publishing wired into GitHub Actions.

Quickstart

uv sync
uv run pytest -n auto                 # run the test suite
uv run operator-cli whoami  # identity from culture.yaml
uv run operator-cli learn   # self-teaching prompt (add --json)
uv run teken cli doctor . --strict    # the agent-first rubric gate CI runs

CLI

Every command supports --json. Results go to stdout, errors/diagnostics to stderr (never mixed). Exit codes: 0 success, 1 user error, 2 environment error, 3+ reserved.

Make it your own

1. Rename the import package operator_cli/ and the operator-cli CLI/dist name throughout pyproject.toml, the package, tests/, sonar-project.properties, and this README.md. List every occurrence first with git grep -lI 'operator_cli\|operator-cli'. Never pick an import-package name that shadows a stdlib module (the original operator did — see the package-naming note in CLAUDE.md).
2. Edit culture.yaml with your suffix and backend.
3. Rewrite CLAUDE.md for your agent and run /init.
4. Re-vendor only the skills you need from guildmaster (see docs/skill-sources.md).

See CLAUDE.md for the full conventions (version-bump-every-PR, the cicd PR lane, deploy setup).
