@seedrop/cli

Persistent identity and local coordination for AI agents. Your Claude, Codex, Kimi, Cursor, or other MCP client gets a stable passport on this machine, and Seedrop can wire that passport into the client's MCP config so agents can resume identity and share a local Space.

Start here:

npm install -g @seedrop/cli
seed init --yes
seed doctor

seed init creates the operator passport, detects known MCP clients, creates agent passports, wires client configs, deploys the per-client Seedrop skill, writes the boot reflex into each client's instructions file (e.g. ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.codex/AGENTS.md) inside a managed marker block, and offers the macOS Space daemon. After it finishes, agents are ready to call seedrop_boot from their next session.

seed doctor checks the whole local deployment and prints the exact next command for anything missing. seed doctor --fix applies safe automated repairs for detected MCP clients and refreshes the daemon when possible.

Install Clients

Known clients are data-driven through clients.json plus optional local overrides at ~/.seedrop/clients.json.

seed clients scan
seed install --all-detected
seed install codex --to codex-cli
seed install claude --to claude-code
seed install claude-desktop --to claude-desktop
seed install cursor --to cursor
seed install kimi --to kimi
seed install copilot --to vscode-copilot
seed install windsurf --to windsurf
seed install cline --to cline
seed install kilo --to kilo

Built-in adapters currently cover Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Cursor, Kimi, Continue, VS Code/GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Kilo, and Antigravity. Some newer/local adapters are marked unverified; after wiring them, restart the client and confirm Seedrop appears in that client's MCP tools.

Clients that declare a skill block in clients.json (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI) also get the Seedrop skill auto-deployed during seed install and seed init. Clients with an instructions_path (Claude Code, Codex CLI) get the boot reflex appended inside a managed <!-- seedrop:boot-reflex:start --> ... :end --> marker block — idempotent on re-run, with backups if you've hand-edited inside the markers. Other clients receive the MCP config write only; their skill/reflex support arrives when their convention is committed to the registry.

For an unknown MCP client, use the escape hatch:

seed install <agent> --manual

That prints both JSON and TOML snippets with the right SEEDROP_PASSPORT.

Boot Reflex

Add this idea to your global agent instructions:

seed

The bare command is the orientation contract. It prints identity, current root, View state, daemon reachability, recent coordination messages, trace state, and one ranked next action. It is read-only: if orientation is missing, it tells the agent what command to run rather than writing files.

In a new repo or folder, run:

seed bootstrap

Machine-readable orientation is available with:

seed continuity --json

The JSON includes an orientation object with identity, place, traces, coordination, health, and next_action. Agents should prefer orientation.next_action for cold-start recovery.

View quality is graded in the orientation health block:

• L0 Missing: no repo View is present.
• L1 Present: View exists, but it is not yet useful.
• L2 Useful: policy purpose, fresh manifest, and verification commands are available.
• L3 Active: current work is represented by a run with resume evidence.
• L4 Handoff-Ready: validated state is sufficient for another agent to resume.

Repos can make this explicit in .seedrop/view/policy.json with required_success_level, freshness_ttl_hours, ignore, and path_purposes. seed view sync applies policy annotations into the manifest so important paths carry purpose, owner, confidence, and optional recommended-read metadata.

seed view sync
seed view context
seed view audit

seed view init --passport ... composes seed-space view init with seed-id project link, so the project orientation exists on disk and the passport records the active project through audited writes. seed space serve --passport ... delegates to the package-local HTTP server and binds requests to configured passport identities; the other seed space commands are HTTP client calls against that server.

Boundary

@seedrop/cli is an ergonomics layer.

It delegates to package-local binaries:

• seed-id from @seedrop/id
• seed-space from @seedrop/space

The package APIs remain the source of truth.
