4 use cases

  • Review working-tree changes and draft a commit message

    Use /diff to read colored changes, then /commit to draft a Conventional Commits message.

    View prompt
    Using the cryer/star-cli repo, run `star` inside <repo-path>, enter `/diff` and then `/commit`, and report the drafted commit message. Verify that the message follows the Conventional Commits format before anyone uses it.

  • Plan a change read-only before any file is edited

    Run plan mode so the agent researches without writing and waits for your approval.

    View prompt
    Using the cryer/star-cli repo, set permissionMode to plan in ~/.star-cli/config.toml, run `star` in <project-dir> with the request <task>, and report the plan it produces. Verify that no files changed before approval by checking `git status`.

  • Call the agent from a shell script with print mode and JSON

    Run one prompt with star -p and --json, then parse the NDJSON output in a script.

    View prompt
    Using the cryer/star-cli repo, write a shell script that runs `star -p "<prompt>"` with --json and writes the output to <output-file>. Verify that every output line parses as valid JSON.

  • Resume a past agent session and export it to Markdown

    Reopen a saved session with /resume or star -r, then save it as Markdown with /export.

    View prompt
    Using the cryer/star-cli repo, run `star -r` in <project-dir>, select the session for <task>, then run `/export`. Report the exported file path and verify that the file opens as Markdown.

How to use Star CLI

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js 20 or newer; pnpm, only if you build from source; An API key for an OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenAI-compatible provider, set via /connect or config.toml.
  2. Open cryer/star-cli on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Install the CLI with npm install -g @cryer/star-cli.
  4. Change into your git repository and start the REPL with star.
  5. Type /diff to see the colored working-tree diff.
  6. Type /commit to have the agent draft a Conventional Commits message from the changes.

These steps come from our top use case, Review working-tree changes and draft a commit message, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
