🚀 Quick Start

# ⚠️ Limited file access - good for trying out the CLI
npx wordlift-cli

# ✅ Recommended for project work - full file access
npm install -g wordlift-cli
wordlift-cli

# Or clone and install locally for development
git clone https://github.com/wordlift/wordlift-cli.git
cd wordlift-cli
./install.sh

✅ Now available on npm! You can use npx wordlift-cli to try it out, but install globally for full project integration.

📁 Working with Project Files

✅ Smart Project Directory Detection: WordLift CLI v1.0.6+ automatically:

• Detects your current working directory when you run the command
• Provides full access to local files (input, output, etc.) from any directory
• Uses your project's .gemini configuration if it exists
• Maintains proper file permissions and security

Example Usage:

cd /your/project/directory
wordlift-cli
> Read the file input/strategy.md and create content based on it

Previously: npm packages had file access restrictions Now: Full project integration regardless of installation method!

🎨 WordLift Branding

The WordLift CLI includes a temporary patch that replaces Gemini CLI's ASCII art with WordLift branding.

Note: This is a temporary solution until PR #2829 adds native custom ASCII art support.

# Automatic setup (includes patch)
npm run setup

# Manual patch control
npm run patch-ascii    # Apply WordLift branding
npm run unpatch-ascii  # Restore original

The patch automatically detects your Gemini CLI installation and safely modifies the ASCII art component.

📖 Usage

Once installed, you can use WordLift CLI just like Gemini CLI, but with WordLift branding:

# If installed locally
./bin/wordlift-cli.js

# If installed globally
wordlift-cli

# Or run directly via npm
npx wordlift-cli

# The CLI will show the WordLift logo and launch:
