@cubocicloide/dude-launcher

A tiny global shim for dude. Install it once, globally; it makes dude <cmd> always run the version each project pins — no manual version switching across projects.

Why

A scaffolded dude project pins two things in package.json (lockfile-enforced):

• @cubocicloide/dude — the CLI runtime
• @cubocicloide/stack-<name> — the stack plugin

Different projects pin different versions. The launcher reads the project it is invoked in and runs that project's exact toolchain, so collaborators and CI all get identical behaviour from a single dude command.

Install

npm install -g @cubocicloide/dude-launcher

(Published on the public npm registry — no auth or token required to install.)

How it works

Running dude <args>:

1. Walks up from the current directory to the nearest dude.json.
2. Inside a project: if the pinned @cubocicloide/dude / stack versions are not installed (or an exact pin disagrees with what's in node_modules), it runs the project's package manager (pnpm/yarn/npm) to provision them, then re-execs node_modules/.bin/dude.
3. Outside a project: project-less commands (init, version, help) are delegated to the latest published CLI via npx. Anything else prints a clear "no dude.json found" error.

Environment variables

| Variable | Effect | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | DUDE_SKIP_PROVISION | Skip the install check and run whatever is already in node_modules |

Relationship to the CLI

This package contains no dude logic — only resolution and delegation. It changes rarely. All commands, scaffolding, and lint rules live in the per-project @cubocicloide/dude CLI and its stacks.
