CLI

One binary is the TUI, the agent, and the updater.

steelframe [COMMAND]

Commands:
  tui      Operator TUI (default when no subcommand is given)
  agent    Project agent (run / install / tools / memory-rebuild)
  config   Add or update a project in the TUI registry
  setup    First-run host tools (including RustFS) + coding runtime
  update   Replace this binary from the release channel if newer
  version  Print version

Consoles and the agent

steelframe                        # TUI (same as `steelframe tui`)
steelframe agent run              # run the agent (HTTP + coordinator)
steelframe agent install          # systemd unit + /opt/steelframe
steelframe agent tools            # host CLIs: git, gh, gcx, sqlite3, rustfs
steelframe agent memory-rebuild   # replay WAL into the SQLite index

agent install requires STEELFRAME_MASTER_KEY. agent tools installs the host CLIs the agent needs.

Project registry

steelframe config --list
steelframe config \
  --name my-project \
  --url https://my-project.example.com \
  --token-file /tmp/steelframe-tui.token \
  --operator your-github-login

--token takes the token inline; --token-file reads it from a file. With no flags, config opens the interactive wizard. See projects.toml.

Host setup

steelframe setup --runtime claude   # or grok, codex, opencode, pi

Update

steelframe update

Pulls a newer build from the release channel. STEELFRAME_NO_UPDATE=1 skips the launch/launch-time check and the agent’s poll.
