exodus-cli

A CLI for the exodus ecosystem: launch the Exodus desktop app, check for CLI updates, and browse/install Agent Skills from the terminal — either interactively or as scriptable JSON-emitting commands.

Install

Requires Bun >=1.3.0 on PATH — this CLI is built on Bun and its compiled bundle runs under the Bun runtime, not plain Node.js.

npm install -g exodus-cli
# or, without installing:
bunx exodus-cli --help

Prefer not to install Bun? Download a standalone binary for your platform from the latest GitHub release instead — no Bun or Node required.

Commands

exodus open                       # launch the Exodus desktop app
exodus update [--check]           # check for a newer exodus-cli version
exodus skills                     # interactive TUI: browse, view audits, install/uninstall
exodus skills search <query> [--json]
exodus skills install <id>  [--json]   # e.g. vercel-labs/skills/find-skills
exodus skills list           [--json]
exodus skills uninstall <slug> [--json]
exodus --help

Skills install into ~/.exodus/skills/<slug>/, the same directory universal-client (the Exodus desktop app) reads — a skill installed via this CLI is immediately usable there too.

Development

bun install
bun run index.ts --help   # run from source
bun test                  # run the test suite
bun run typecheck

Release

Pushing to main triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which runs semantic-release: it determines the next version from conventional commits, publishes to npm, compiles cross-platform binaries (bun build --compile), and attaches them to a GitHub Release.
