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.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take coco-research/coco-cli from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
