Readme
Desk Rules CLI
@desk-rules/cli provides setup, diagnostics, repair, update checks, and the
current Desk Rules MCP skill bundle. Desk Rules MCP itself is hosted at:
https://agents.deskrules.com/api/mcpQuick use
deskrules mcp doctor
deskrules mcp doctor --client codex
deskrules mcp repair codex
deskrules mcp setup codex
deskrules mcp setup codex --profile full
deskrules mcp setup claude
deskrules skills listCodex setup uses the restricted starter profile by default. Full tool discovery
requires explicit --profile full. Repair is dry-run by default and changes
only one unambiguous remote Desk Rules block when rerun with --apply.
Install the Desk Rules plugin or configure the hosted server manually. They are alternative setup methods, not additive requirements. The CLI does not install skills into host-specific folders or grant Desk Rules write authorization.

Run mcp doctor when a server, plugin, CLI, or skill bundle looks stale. The
doctor distinguishes the installed bundle version from the minimum compatible
version. Authentication is confirmed in the connected agent, not by a separate
CLI test command.
Workflow boundary
Desk Rules MCP owns authorization, private workspace inspection, research persistence, template validation, editable design operations, export, and publication preparation. The connected agent supplies its own permitted public web, search, or browser tools. Account > Agent > Design Rule remains the configurable design-selection instruction source.
The starter profile covers common inspection and workflow operations. Agents copy canonical configs and write tokens from inspection rather than guessing identifiers. Existing-design multi-step edits use Agent Draft; direct editor commands remain available for explicit one-step edits. Publishing always requires explicit approval for the exact publication.
Safety and source
- No postinstall script.
- No backend secrets or local stdio customer setup.
- Malformed, ambiguous, local stdio, and unsupported Codex configs fail closed.
- Configuration/profile changes never grant account write access.
