CLI Reference
Blue CLI
The @blueagent/cli package ships two binaries: blue for direct commands and blueagent for an interactive TUI. Requires Node.js ≥ 18. Published on npm.
Install
@blueagent/clinpm
$ npm install -g @blueagent/cli # verify $ blue doctor
Two ways to run
blue — direct commands
blueagent — interactive TUI
A full-screen menu — arrow keys to browse and run every command without memorizing flags.
No install? Use the browser terminal
blueagent.dev/terminal runs the same commands in your browser — tab-autocomplete and full history, nothing to install.
First-run setup
setup
# install skill files (grounding knowledge) to ~/.blue-agent/skills/ $ blue init # scaffold a new Base project $ blue new my-app --template base-token # base-agent | base-x402 | base-token # health-check an existing project $ blue validate ./my-project
Configuration
Configure the CLI with environment variables:
BANKR_API_KEYBankr LLM key — required for AI-backed commands (idea/build/audit/ship/raise). Core scaffolding works without it.
BLUE_AGENT_SKILLS_DIROverride the skills directory. Takes priority over ~/.blue-agent/skills/ and the bundled skills.
