4 use cases

  • Run a coding agent on your own model

    Start a working terminal coding agent on a local or hosted model in one afternoon.

    View prompt
    Install the Raw agent harness from the repo lploc94/raw-cli, set up a configured agent on the model <model-id> at <base-url>, and run it with the task "Explain the tests in <repo-path>". Expected output: a plain-text explanation of the test files. Verify that the run finished with a model answer and no configuration error.

  • Fork a built-in tool to change how it works

    Copy the shipped bash tool, rename it, and change its behavior for one agent.

    View prompt
    Using the repo lploc94/raw-cli, copy examples/tools/bash/ to ~/.config/raw/tools/<tool-name>/, change its manifest id and name, and select local/<tool-name> in the agent <agent-name>. Expected output: a successful run of one shell command through the forked tool. Verify the run output shows the forked tool name and a status line.

  • Package an agent so teammates can install it

    Export a configured agent with its tools and skills as a .rawpkg for your team.

    View prompt
    Export the configured agent <agent-name> from the repo lploc94/raw-cli as a package named @<owner>/<name> version 1.0.0, pack it into <file>.rawpkg, and list the steps the recipient needs to bind their own model. Expected output: a packed .rawpkg file and a short recipient checklist. Verify the package file exists and contains no literal API keys.

  • Ask for approval before risky shell commands

    Add tools.rules so an agent prompts only for matching bash commands such as rm.

    View prompt
    Using the repo lploc94/raw-cli, add an ordered tools.rules entry to the agent <agent-name> that asks before any bash command containing rm, then run it with the task "List files in <folder>" and "Remove <file>". Expected output: the list runs and the removal triggers an approval prompt. Verify the prompt appears and the -y flag does not skip it.

How to use Raw CLI

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js 22.13+ on macOS, Linux or Windows 10/11; Bash for the bash tool (Git Bash on Windows, or PowerShell if Bash is absent); A local model served over an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a hosted model with an API key.
  2. Open lploc94/raw-cli on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run npm install -g @tlelabs/raw.
  4. Run raw config init to create the config file.
  5. Edit the config so the local model model_id matches your installed model, or add your hosted model with api_key_env.
  6. Run raw --agent raw "Explain the tests in this repository" from the project folder.

These steps come from our top use case, Run a coding agent on your own model, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
