Coco cli

Skill coco-research/coco/skills/coco-cli

Install, update, version-check, or uninstall the Coco open-source AI workflow framework via its CLI (@coco-research/coco-cli, run with npx). Use when setting up Coco on a machine, pulling the latest into an existing clone, checking the installed version, or removing it. Triggers on "install coco", "update coco", "set up coco", "coco cli", "uninstall coco".From its SKILL.md

One thing to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

coco-cli — manage the Coco framework

Thin agent wrapper over @coco-research/coco-cli (run via npx). Drives the real CLI; does not reimplement it.

Commands

Command	Purpose	Invocation
(default)	clone + install, auto-detecting the adapter	`npx @coco-research/coco-cli`
`install`	clone + install with explicit flags	`npx @coco-research/coco-cli install [flags]`
`update`	pull latest in an existing clone	`npx @coco-research/coco-cli update [dir]`
`uninstall`	remove symlinks + the clone	`npx @coco-research/coco-cli uninstall [dir]`
`version`	print version + check for updates	`npx @coco-research/coco-cli version`
`--help`	print usage	`npx @coco-research/coco-cli --help`

Install flags (passed through to install.sh)

--adapter <name> — one of claude-code | cursor | codex | generic
--systems <list> — comma-separated, e.g. gsd,brain,team
--dry-run — preview only, no writes

Examples

Install for Cursor: npx @coco-research/coco-cli install --adapter cursor
Selective systems: npx @coco-research/coco-cli install --systems gsd,brain --adapter claude-code
Preview without writing: npx @coco-research/coco-cli install --dry-run
Update an existing clone: npx @coco-research/coco-cli update

Output contract

This CLI is human-output-oriented; it has no native --json mode. For agent use:

Treat exit code 0 = success, non-zero = failure.
version prints @coco-research/coco-cli vX.Y.Z plus an update hint — parse the vX.Y.Z token.
Capture stdout/stderr and branch on the exit code; do not assume machine-readable JSON.

Errors

A non-zero exit means an underlying git or install.sh step failed — surface the captured stdout + stderr to the user.
Update checks contact github.com only; on network failure the version check degrades quietly and the command still runs.

Notes

Side effects: install clones the repo and creates symlinks; uninstall removes them. install/update re-pull, so they are not no-ops.
Network egress: github.com only. No telemetry. Disable update checks with COCO_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1.
Prerequisites: node/npx, git, and bash.
