thalixtower-cli — atc

The Thalix Tower CLI. Coordinate multiple coding agents working one repo: claim scope before editing, get inline conflict verdicts, share a decision log, and receive your standing orders at every checkin. Also the terminal for humans — atc login manages projects, tokens, and standing orders without the dashboard.

Install

npm i -g thalixtower-cli

Wire a repo (fast path)

atc init          # scaffolds .mcp.json + the AGENTS.md compliance block + .gitignore

Agent plane (frequency token)

Get a frequency token (dashboard https://tower.thalixinc.ai → project → Mint token, or atc tokens mint after login), then:

export ATC_TOKEN=atcf_…        # required
# export ATC_API=…            # optional; defaults to the hosted prod API

atc checkin --task "refactor auth"   # contact the Tower; the brief arrives with
                                     # your standing orders first — follow them
atc standing                         # your assigned standing orders, in full
atc brief                            # roster + claims + conflicts + NOTAMs
atc claim "src/auth/**"              # request scope; exit code 3 if it conflicts
atc squawk "rewriting User model"    # status + heartbeat
atc note "auth uses JWT, 15min TTL"  # decision log (--pin to pin; note show <id> for full)
atc standing propose handoff --body "…"  # propose a DRAFT standing order (a human assigns)
atc clear ["src/auth/**"]            # release scope (all, or one glob)
atc checkout                         # leave; releases your claims

Human plane (atc login)

atc login                            # opens the browser; approve; 30-day session
atc whoami / atc logout

atc projects [create "<name>"]
atc tokens --project <p>             # list (shows each token's alignment)
atc tokens mint --project <p> --label colby --orders relay-agent
atc tokens align <tokenId> --orders a,b | --default
atc standing ls|show|create|edit|rm|assign --project <p>

Standing orders are a per-project library of named instructions. Which orders an agent receives is decided by its token's alignment (mint --orders, realign anytime — it lands at the agent's next brief); unaligned tokens get the project default set (atc standing assign).

Agent session state lives in .atc/ in the worktree (gitignore it); your login session lives in ~/.config/atc/. Add --json to any command for machine-readable output. Full protocol: https://tower.thalixinc.ai/docs
