cli

Command-line interface rules for the RoleMule CLI, a terminal program entered with the `rolemule` command. They define how commands, HTTP requests, output formats, errors, confirmations, authentication, tests, and documentation should work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing RoleMule commands, client resources, JSON or human output, confirmation prompts, authentication, tests, or CLI documentation.
Why use it?
They keep CLI commands consistent and ensure server communication goes through the shared client. This reduces duplicated API paths, unsafe destructive actions, and differences between human and machine-readable output.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

RoleMule CLI Conventions

Product: RoleMule CLI (rolemule entry point). Server parity via rolemule_client/ — never duplicate HTTP paths in command handlers.

Architecture

cli/                    — Typer commands, formatters, config, output, pager, workflow watch
rolemule_client/      — Sync httpx client + resource modules
tests/test_cli/         — CliRunner tests (no live server in CI)
tests/test_cli_integration/ — ASGI tests (requires DATABASE_URL)

Install: bundled with make setup / make start-local / just setup (pip install -e ".[cli]" into the project venv). Tests: make cli-test.

Command patterns

  1. Global flags before subcommand: rolemule --format json --no-pager workflow analyze -
  2. HTTP only through client: require_client(ctx)client.<resource>.<method>()
  3. Errors: emit_error() or emit_workflow_error() (handles CFG_6001, RES_3002)
  4. Destructive ops: require_confirm() from cli/util.py (--confirm)
  5. JSON payloads: payload_from_file() / --file - for stdin
  6. Human vs JSON: emit(ctx, data, human=...) from cli/output.py (pager for long human text)

Auth: JWT vs PAT

  • Local JWT: auth token set / auth token show — stored in credentials.json
  • PATs: auth token create|list|revoke/api/v1/auth/tokens (rm_pat_ prefix; hash at rest); auth token create --save stores PAT in credentials.json
  • PAT works as Authorization: Bearer on all API + WebSocket endpoints

Adding a command

  1. Add method to rolemule_client/resources/<area>.py
  2. Expose via @property on RoleMuleClient if new resource
  3. Implement Typer command in cli/commands/<area>.py
  4. Add human formatter in cli/formatters/ when output is not raw JSON
  5. Register typer in cli/main.py
  6. Tests: tests/test_cli/test_<area>_client.py + test_<area>_commands.py + matrix case
  7. Update docs/cli-reference.md

Security

  • Credentials: ~/.rolemule/credentials.json mode 0600
  • Passwords: getpass only (TTY required)
  • Register success: never save JWT — only verify-code / login / token set
  • PAT plaintext shown once on auth token create
  • --file paths: read JSON only, never execute
  • No tokens in log output

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cli is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository eliornl/rolemule (37 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 912 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
