@baseline-studio/cli

CLI for the Baseline System — an AI-powered workflow system for product teams.

Quick Start

Create a new Baseline System:

npx @baseline-studio/cli init

You'll be asked for your company name, then guided through context questions to personalize your system. When it's done, you'll have a complete system with skills, frameworks, and context files — ready to use with Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any AI tool.

Commands

Once you have a Baseline System, the CLI is bundled locally. Run commands from your system's root directory:

| Command | What It Does | |---------|-------------| | npx baseline status | Show current version and check for updates | | npx baseline update | Pull latest skills, frameworks, and CLI | | npx baseline context | Re-run context prompts to update existing files | | npx baseline context add <name> | Create a new context file and wire it to skills |

How It Works

There are two copies of the CLI serving different purposes:

• This npm package (@baseline-studio/cli) is the entry point for first-time setup. It downloads temporarily via npx, runs init, and scaffolds your system.
• The bundled CLI (inside each system at cli/) is the daily driver. After init, all commands (status, update, context) run from the local copy — no npm dependency needed.

Updates come from git tags via npx baseline update, not from npm.

Co-Founder Mode

Say "brainstorm" or "let's strategize" without naming a skill, and the system activates Co-Founder Mode — a strategic thinking partner that loads your business context and asks probing questions.
