@acdl/cli

Install AI Context Docs Lifecycle skills and templates into any project.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

Install

Run with npx (recommended):

npx @acdl/cli init

Or install globally:

npm install -g @acdl/cli
acdl --help

Quick Start

From your project root:

npx @acdl/cli init

This installs selected module assets directly into your project (for example .agents/skills/... and optional .cursor/rules/feature-workflow.mdc).

After init, tell your AI assistant:

load skill `acdl`

What init Installs

Based on selected modules:

• Module 1: .agents/skills/acdl, .agents/skills/agents-md, .agents/skills/doc-writing
• Module 2: .agents/skills/feature-workflow, .agents/skills/spec-writing, optional .cursor/rules/feature-workflow.mdc
• Module 3: .agents/skills/project-planning

init does not auto-generate project-specific AGENTS.md or docs/ content; skills/templates are installed so your AI can generate them.

Commands

init

Install selected module assets into the current project.

npx @acdl/cli init [options]

Options:

• --force: overwrite existing installed assets
• -y, --yes: accept default module selection (Modules 1 and 2)
• --modules <list>: explicit selection (1,2,3 or all)
• --skip-install: skip module asset installation
• --dry-run: preview installation without writing files

npm run build
npm test
