soothe-cli 0.6.9

Soothe CLI client - communicates with daemon via WebSocket

Soothe CLI Client

WebSocket-based CLI client for Soothe daemon.

Installation

pip install soothe-cli

Usage

The soothe command provides both CLI and TUI interfaces:

# Interactive TUI mode
soothe

# Headless single-prompt mode
soothe -p "Research AI advances"

# Loop management
soothe loop list
soothe loop continue loop_abc123

Architecture

This package is the client component that communicates with the Soothe daemon via WebSocket.

• No direct dependencies on daemon runtime - all communication through WebSocket
• Lightweight dependencies - only typer, textual, rich, and SDK
• WebSocket-only transport - bidirectional streaming protocol

Dependencies

• soothe-sdk>=0.5.10 - WebSocket client, protocol, types
• typer>=0.9.0 - CLI framework
• textual>=8.0.0 - TUI framework
• rich>=13.0.0 - Console output

Configuration

CLI client settings are passed as global flags on every soothe invocation:

# Connect to a daemon on a non-default host/port
soothe --daemon-host 127.0.0.1 --daemon-port 8765

# Enable debug logging for ~/.soothe/logs/cli.log
soothe --log-level DEBUG

# Disable Markdown rendering in the TUI
soothe --no-render-markdown

Flag	Default	Description
--daemon-host	127.0.0.1	Daemon WebSocket host
--daemon-port	8765	Daemon WebSocket port
--log-level	INFO	CLI log level (SOOTHE_LOG_LEVEL env overrides)
--render-markdown / --no-render-markdown	enabled	Markdown rendering in TUI
--soothe-home	~/.soothe	Soothe home directory
--streaming / --no-streaming	daemon default	Override output streaming
--streaming-mode	daemon default	streaming or batch

Global flags apply to subcommands too, e.g. soothe --daemon-port 9000 loop list.
