cli-anything-mubu
Canonical packaged entrypoint for the Mubu live bridge.
Installation
This CLI is packaged from the canonical agent-harness source tree:
Prerequisites:
- Python 3.10+
- An active Mubu desktop session on this machine
- Local Mubu profile data available to the CLI
- Set
MUBU_DAILY_FOLDERif you want no-argument daily helpers
Entry Points
When invoked without a subcommand, the CLI enters an interactive REPL session.
Command Groups
Discover
Discovery commands for folders, documents, recency, and daily-document resolution.
| docs | List latest known document snapshots from local backups. |
| folders | List folder metadata from local RxDB storage. |
| folder-docs | List document metadata for one folder. |
| path-docs | List documents for one folder path or folder id. |
| recent | List recently active documents using backups, metadata, and sync logs. |
| daily | Find Daily-style folders and list the documents inside them. |
| daily-current | Resolve the current daily document from one Daily-style folder. |
Inspect
Inspection commands for tree views, search, links, sync events, and live node targeting.
| show | Show the latest backup tree for one document. |
| search | Search latest backups for matching node text or note content. |
| changes | Parse recent client-sync change events from local logs. |
| links | Extract outbound Mubu document links from one document backup. |
| open-path | Open one document by full path, suffix path, title, or doc id. |
| doc-nodes | List live document nodes with node ids and update-target paths. |
| daily-nodes | List live nodes from the current daily document in one step. |
Mutate
Mutation commands for dry-run-first atomic live edits against the Mubu API.
| create-child | Build or execute one child-node creation against the live Mubu API. |
| delete-node | Build or execute one node deletion against the live Mubu API. |
| update-text | Build or execute one text update against the live Mubu API. |
Session
Session and state commands for current document/node context and local command history.
| status | Show the current session state. |
| state-path | Show the session state file path. |
| use-doc | Persist the current document reference. |
| use-node | Persist the current node reference. |
| use-daily | Resolve and persist the current daily document reference. |
| clear-doc | Clear the current document reference. |
| clear-node | Clear the current node reference. |
| history | Show recent command history stored in session state. |
Recommended Agent Workflow
Safety Rules
- Prefer grouped commands for agent use; flat legacy commands remain for compatibility.
- Use
--jsonwhenever an agent will parse the output. - Prefer
discoverorinspectcommands before anymutatecommand. - Live mutations are dry-run by default and only execute with
--execute. - Prefer
--node-idand--parent-node-idover text matching. delete-noderemoves the full targeted subtree.- Even same-text updates can still advance document version history.
- Pass a daily-folder reference explicitly or set
MUBU_DAILY_FOLDERbefore using no-arg daily helpers.
Examples
Interactive REPL Session
Start an interactive session with persistent document and node context.
Discover Current Daily Note
Resolve the current daily note from an explicit folder reference.
Dry-Run Atomic Update
Inspect the exact outgoing payload before a live mutation.
Session State
The CLI maintains lightweight session state in JSON:
current_doccurrent_node- local command history
Use the session command group to inspect or update this state.
For AI Agents
- Start with
discoverorinspect, notmutate. - Use
session status --jsonto recover persisted context. - Use grouped commands in generated prompts and automation.
- Verify postconditions after any live mutation.
- Read the package
TEST.mdandREADME.mdwhen stricter operational detail is needed.
