CLI Reference

MeowKit provides two CLI packages:

Package	Command	Purpose
mewkit	npx mewkit init	Scaffold or update the .claude/ system
mewkit	npx mewkit COMMAND	Runtime tools: doctor, setup, task, validate, budget, memory, upgrade, status

Quick Start

# 1. Scaffold MeowKit into your project
cd your-project
npx mewkit init

# 2. Configure environment
npx mewkit setup

# 3. Verify installation
npx mewkit doctor

# 4. Create your first task
npx mewkit task new --type feature "Add user authentication"

How it works

npx mewkit init 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

mewkit is a runtime toolbox for daily use — diagnostics, setup, task management, cost tracking.
