CLI Reference
MeowKit provides two CLI packages:
| Package | Command | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
create-meowkit | npm create meowkit@latest | Scaffold or update the .claude/ system |
meowkit | npx meowkit <command> | Runtime tools: doctor, setup, task, validate, budget, memory, upgrade, status |
Quick Start
bash
# 1. Scaffold MeowKit into your project
cd your-project
npm create meowkit@latest
# 2. Configure environment
npx meowkit setup
# 3. Verify installation
npx meowkit doctor
# 4. Create your first task
npx meowkit task new --type feature "Add user authentication"How it works
create-meowkit is a scaffold + update tool:
- First run: copies the full MeowKit system (agents, skills, hooks, rules, commands, modes, scripts) into
.claude/ - Subsequent runs: smart update — overwrites unchanged core files, skips user-modified files, adds new files
meowkit is a runtime toolbox for daily use — diagnostics, setup, task management, cost tracking.
