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:

~/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

# 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

# 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

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

LLM Integration

# 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
