Introduction

# Craft CLI Skill

Interact with Craft Documents via the `craft` CLI tool. Fast, token-efficient, LLM-ready.

## Installation

The `craft` CLI binary should be installed at `/usr/local/bin/craft`.

If not installed: ```bash curl -L https://github.com/nerveband/craft-cli/releases/download/v1.0.0/craft-darwin-arm64 -o craft chmod +x craft sudo mv craft /usr/local/bin/ ```

## Configuration

Two Craft spaces are available:

### wavedepth Space (Business) ```bash ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft config set-api https://connect.craft.do/links/5VruASgpXo0/api/v1 ```

### Personal Space ```bash ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft config set-api https://connect.craft.do/links/HHRuPxZZTJ6/api/v1 ```

### Quick Switch (Helper Script) ```bash # Switch to wavedepth space ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft-helper.sh wavedepth

# Switch to personal space ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft-helper.sh personal

# Check current space ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft-helper.sh current ```

**Check current configuration:** ```bash ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft config get-api ```

## Commands

### List Documents ```bash # JSON format (default - LLM-friendly) ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft list

# Human-readable table ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft list --format table

# Markdown format ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft list --format markdown ```

### Search Documents ```bash # Search for documents ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft search "query terms"

# With table output ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft search "query" --format table ```

### Get Document ```bash # Get document by ID (JSON) ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft get <document-id>

# Save to file ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft get <document-id> --output document.md

# Different format ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft get <document-id> --format markdown ```

### Create Document ```bash # Create with title only ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft create --title "My New Document"

# Create from file ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft create --title "My Document" --file content.md

# Create with inline markdown ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft create --title "Quick Note" --markdown "# Hello\nThis is content"

# Create as child of another document ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft create --title "Child Doc" --parent <parent-id> ```

### Update Document ```bash # Update title ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft update <document-id> --title "New Title"

# Update from file ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft update <document-id> --file updated-content.md

# Update with inline markdown ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft update <document-id> --markdown "# Updated\nNew content"

# Update both title and content ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft update <document-id> --title "New Title" --file content.md ```

### Delete Document ```bash ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft delete <document-id> ```

### Info Commands ```bash # Show API info and recent documents ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft info

# List all available documents ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft docs ```

### Version ```bash ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft version ```

## Output Formats

- **json** (default): Machine-readable JSON, ideal for LLMs and scripts - **table**: Human-readable table format - **markdown**: Markdown-formatted output

Set default format in config or use `--format` flag per command.

## API URL Override

Override the configured API URL for any command: ```bash ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft list --api-url https://connect.craft.do/links/ANOTHER_LINK/api/v1 ```

## Error Handling

The CLI provides clear error messages with exit codes:

- **Exit Code 0**: Success - **Exit Code 1**: User error (invalid input, missing arguments) - **Exit Code 2**: API error (server-side issues) - **Exit Code 3**: Configuration error

Common errors: - `authentication failed. Check API URL` - Invalid/unauthorized API URL - `resource not found` - Document ID doesn't exist - `rate limit exceeded. Retry later` - Too many requests - `no API URL configured. Run 'craft config set-api <url>' first` - Missing config

## Usage Examples

### Workflow: List and Search ```bash # List all documents in wavedepth space ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft config set-api https://connect.craft.do/links/5VruASgpXo0/api/v1 ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft list --format table

# Search for specific documents ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft search "proposal" --format table ```

### Workflow: Create and Update ```bash # Create a new document ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft create --title "Project Notes" --markdown "# Initial notes\n\nStart here."

# Get the document ID from output, then update ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft update <doc-id> --title "Updated Project Notes"

# Verify the update ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft get <doc-id> --format markdown ```

### Workflow: Export Document ```bash # Get a specific document and save to file ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft get <doc-id> --output exported-notes.md ```

### LLM Integration ```bash # Get all documents as JSON (pipe to processing) ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft list | jq '.[] | {id, title}'

# Search and extract specific fields ~/clawd/skills/craft-cli/craft search "meeting" | jq '.[].title' ```

## Tips

1. **Default to JSON format** for LLM consumption (it's the default) 2. **Use table format** when showing results to humans 3. **Check configuration** before operations: `craft config get-api` 4. **Switch spaces easily** with `craft config set-api <url>` 5. **Override API URL** temporarily with `--api-url` flag instead of changing config
