Pioneer CLI

Requires Node.js 22.19 or newer for CLI and SDK use. Direct Bun execution is currently unsupported by the HTTP dependency; use Node even when installing with Bun.

Install: npm install -g --ignore-scripts @pioneer-platform/pioneer-cli

Run pioneer in your project. Encryption is off by default.

Use pioneer --private to encrypt history, logs, credentials, and local memory while writing code normally. Use pioneer create --private my-project for a guided project with private agent state, or add --encrypt-workspace to encrypt the project too. Encryption currently requires macOS and a controlling terminal.

Pioneer Core supplies explicitly granted local long-term memory and analytics. Alpha analytics uses https://alpha.pioneers.dev/api/v1/analytic with your Pioneer credential; PIONEER_ANALYTIC_ENABLED=0 disables it. Run /core and /analytic-status to inspect integration status. Private memory stays in the local vault; cloud model/analytics requests can transmit context.

See privacy modes for migration, recovery, and encryption limits.

Goal mode

Use /goal to keep working toward a saved goal. /goal status, /goal pause, /goal resume, and /goal cancel control it. Runs default to 20 model turns; use /goal start --turns 40 for a different limit. Completion requires recorded verification evidence. Goals restore paused after restarting and follow session encryption. See goals.

Pioneer Office receives assignments and messages when configured with a scoped agent credential. /office inbox reviews them; /office accept explicitly starts an assignment. Automatic maintenance mode is not included in this release.
