Potpie CLI

Potpie CLI

Use this skill when the user is asking about the potpie command itself. For ordinary project-memory context, prefer the relevant use-case skill first.

Setup And Scope

For repo-local CLI install/reinstall from this checkout, use:

make cli-install    # UI build + stop old daemon + editable install
make cli-status
potpie doctor

Do not use raw uv tool install --editable … or pip install for day-to-day local reinstalls. Reserve uv tool install potpie / pip install potpie for the published package.

potpie doctor
potpie --json doctor
make cli-status
uv tool list
which -a potpie
potpie login <api-key> --url <host>
potpie pot list
potpie pot use <pot-id-or-alias>
potpie --json pot info
potpie pot linked --repo current
potpie pot default set --repo current <pot-id-or-alias>
potpie --json source list
potpie source add repo .
potpie source add repo <owner/repo> --pot <pot>

Pot scope resolves in this order:

1. Explicit --pot.
2. Repo-local default set by source add repo or pot default set.
3. Registered repo source matching the current working tree path or remote.origin.url.
4. Active pot from potpie pot use.
5. Clear failure asking for setup, source registration, default selection, or explicit --pot.

A pot is a project boundary and may span multiple repos. Do not automatically narrow timeline reads to the current repo.

source add repo sets the repo-local default by default. Use --no-default only when deliberately registering a repo to a non-default pot. If graph output warns that the selected pot is empty but another linked pot has claims, run the suggested pot default set --repo current <pot> command before continuing.

Search

potpie search "query"
potpie --json search "query"
potpie search "query" --include decisions,features
potpie search "query" --pot <pot-id-or-alias>

Graph Workbench

potpie --json graph status
potpie --json graph catalog --task "<task>"
potpie --json graph describe <subgraph> --view <view> --examples
potpie graph read --subgraph <subgraph> --view <view> --limit 20
potpie graph search-entities "<name>" --type Service --limit 10
potpie --json graph propose --file mutation.json
potpie --json graph commit <plan_id> --verify
potpie --json graph history --plan <plan_id>
potpie --json graph quality summary

Use potpie-graph for advanced graph workbench details.

Boundaries

Repository links, docs, tickets, PRs, and logs are interpreted by the harness and written with graph workbench mutations. Do not use pot-level connector queueing or deterministic local code scans as the agent ingestion path. Do not use scanner-driven graph updates.

For CLI failures, stay in this skill: run potpie doctor, make cli-status, or uv tool list for install facts. For repo-local reinstall use make cli-install (not raw uv tool install). Do not use python -m pip show potpie-context-engine for local uv-tool installs. Inspect JSON output when useful, check API URL/key config, confirm pot scope, and verify source registration before changing project code.
