wholeloop-cli 0.3.0

Install WholeLoop agent skills into app repos (Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code)

WholeLoop

WholeLoop is an agentic delivery workflow (ADWF) built around a product repository (scope, specs, interviews, delivery history) and one or more app repositories (code + gated delivery). Stories live in Linear, Jira, or a manual list; agents run in the IDE — spec → plan → ship → handoff back to product.

Portable skills + CLI + docs. No background orchestrator, no n8n — Cursor, Claude Code, or VS Code.

What you get

Area	In this repo
Skills	agents/skills/*/SKILL.md
CLI	wholeloop-cli on PyPI → init-product + init — install/ · docs/CLI.md
Product template	product-template/ · wholeloop init-product
Trackers	docs/TRACKERS.md — Linear, Jira, manual
Spec template	references/SPEC.template.md (product repo)
Conventions	references/PROJECT_CONVENTIONS.template.md
Workflow	docs/WORKFLOW_PRODUCT_LINEAR.md

Principles

1. Product repo is the center — Durable truth: Features/, interviews, inbox, delivery_notes after handoff. Not optional for a full WholeLoop loop.
2. App repo executes delivery — Code plus workspace/runs/ (ephemeral); skills via wholeloop init / update.
3. Stories in the tracker — Linear, Jira, or manual; linked to ARTIFACT-WAL in the product repo.
4. Human gates — After spec-review and planner (and PR when applicable).
5. IDE-native — Skills + MCP or pasted stories; no WholeLoop server to deploy.

Quick start

1. Read docs/WORKFLOW_PRODUCT_LINEAR.md.

2. Install the CLI (install/README.md):

   brew install uv          # macOS
   uv tool install wholeloop-cli
   

3. Guided setup (founders / first time) — product repo + app repo(s) in one flow:

   wholeloop setup
   

   Or set them up by role:

4. Product repo (PM — system of record):

   wholeloop product init ~/projects/my-product --name my-product
   

   Open in Cursor; use PM skills (build-spec, brainstorm-feature, …). Existing product repo with data: do not product init --force — use wholeloop product update.

5. App repo (Dev — delivery, linked to product):

   cd /path/to/your-app
   wholeloop app init --product ~/projects/my-product
   wholeloop doctor
   

6. Run project-conventions in the app IDE → approve references/project-conventions.md.

Version: skills and docs target v0.2. Check PyPI for the latest CLI; use uv tool install wholeloop-cli --upgrade --force after publishing a new release.
