# Standalone CLI
|
|
|
|
kb works as a standalone CLI without pi. This is useful for CI environments, scripting, or if you prefer working from the terminal.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g @dustinbyrne/kb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
kb uses [pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono) for AI agent sessions and reuses your existing pi authentication. You can also authenticate directly through the dashboard UI.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have pi set up yet: `npm i -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent && pi` then `/login`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Start the dashboard
|
|
|
|
Launch the web UI and AI engine:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kb dashboard
|
|
kb dashboard --port 8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create a task
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kb task create "Fix the login redirect bug"
|
|
kb task create "Update hero section" --attach screenshot.png --attach design.pdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Manage tasks
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
kb task list # List all tasks
|
|
kb task show KB-001 # Show task details, steps, and log
|
|
kb task move KB-001 todo # Move a task to a column
|
|
kb task merge KB-001 # Merge an in-review task and close it
|
|
kb task log KB-001 "Added context" # Add a log entry
|
|
kb task pause KB-001 # Pause a task (stops automation)
|
|
kb task unpause KB-001 # Resume a paused task
|
|
kb task attach KB-001 ./error.log # Attach a file to a task
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Typical workflow
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Create a task — it lands in triage
|
|
kb task create "Add dark mode support"
|
|
|
|
# 2. Start the dashboard — AI specs the task and begins working
|
|
kb dashboard
|
|
|
|
# 3. Check progress
|
|
kb task list
|
|
kb task show KB-042
|
|
|
|
# 4. When it reaches "in-review", review the changes and merge
|
|
kb task merge KB-042
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Standalone binary
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt standalone binaries are available that require no Node.js runtime. You can also build one yourself with [Bun](https://bun.sh/):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bun run build.ts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/dustinbyrne/kb) for platform-specific binaries and build instructions.
