# Client CLI

> Install the aomi client CLI, run Agent and Pipeline commands, manage sessions, and review wallet Actions.

The `aomi` command ships in the [`@aomi-labs/client`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aomi-labs/client) npm package. It gives terminal users and coding agents the same Agent, Pipeline, account, and wallet surfaces as the TypeScript client.

<Warning>
  This is the **client** CLI. It calls a running Aomi environment. Use the Rust
  `aomi-build` toolchain to author and compile plugins that you ship as Apps.
  See [the builder toolchain](/docs/build/toolchain/aomi-build).
</Warning>

<Note>
  Release availability matters. On September 22, 2026, npm `latest` is `0.7.6`,
  while merged frontend source is `0.9.4`. The `0.9.4` source adds account App
  installation and persistent App credential commands. Those commands require a
  matching npm release and backend deployment. Check `aomi --version` before
  using a version-specific command.
</Note>

By default, the CLI calls `https://chat.aomi.dev`. Override the environment for one command with `--backend-url`, or persist it with `aomi config set-backend`.

## Install

Run once without installing globally:

```bash theme={null}
npx @aomi-labs/client@latest --version
npx @aomi-labs/client@latest --help
```

Install the `aomi` binary globally:

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @aomi-labs/client@latest
aomi --version
aomi --help
```

Or add the client to a project:

```bash theme={null}
pnpm add @aomi-labs/client
pnpm exec aomi --version
```

Examples on this page use the global `aomi` binary. Substitute `npx @aomi-labs/client@latest` when you do not want a global install.

## Start with Agent chat

Run one prompt and exit:

```bash theme={null}
aomi --prompt "what is the price of ETH?" --new-session
```

Or open the interactive prompt:

```bash theme={null}
aomi
```

The interactive prompt requires a TTY. Use `--prompt` or `aomi chat` in scripts and CI.

The REPL accepts these commands:

| Command                                          | Purpose                                              |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `/heap`                                          | Show REPL help.                                      |
| `/mode auto`                                     | Let Aomi select the App.                             |
| `/mode direct [app]`                             | Select Direct routing, optionally for one named App. |
| `/app <name>`                                    | Shorthand for Direct routing to one App.             |
| `/model <rig>`, `/model list`, `/model show`     | Manage the model for the active session.             |
| `/key <provider:key>`, `/key show`, `/key clear` | Manage model-provider BYOK credentials.              |
| `:exit`, `:quit`                                 | Exit.                                                |

`--provider-key` and `/key` accept `anthropic`, `openai`, or `openrouter`. They send the value to Aomi's secret service. They do not save the raw value in the local session file.

## Choose Auto or Direct routing

New sessions use Auto routing unless you select an App:

```bash theme={null}
aomi chat "compare lending rates" --new-session
aomi chat "get a quote" --mode direct --app zerox --new-session
```

`--app` or `--application-id` implies Direct mode. Do not combine either selector with `--mode auto`.

## Review an Agent Action

When an Agent turn needs your wallet, the CLI exposes a pending Action. Read it before executing it:

```bash theme={null}
aomi tx list
aomi tx simulate <action-id>
aomi tx sign <action-id> --private-key 0xYourPrivateKey
```

The `tx` name is retained for CLI compatibility. The current API object is an **Action**, which can represent EVM execution, SVM execution, or a signature request. See [Transactions and signing](/docs/reference/client-cli/transactions-and-signing).

## Work with Pipeline directly

Pipeline commands discover Apps, skills, and operation schemas without starting an Agent turn:

```bash theme={null}
aomi pipeline apps
aomi pipeline operations --app aave
aomi pipeline operation supply --app aave
aomi pipeline build supply --app aave --arguments '{"asset":"USDC","amount":"100"}'
```

Use Pipeline when you already know which operation to call. Use Agent chat when you want Aomi to plan from a natural-language goal.

## Sign in for account-owned work

Guest mode is enough for environment-approved public operations. Sign in when sessions, entitlements, installed Apps, or credentials must belong to your account:

```bash theme={null}
aomi account login
aomi account whoami
```

The default login uses OAuth device authorization for exact resources. npm `0.7.6` requests Agent and Pipeline grants. Merged `0.9.4` source also requests an Account grant for App installation and credential management. Wallet login is also available:

```bash theme={null}
aomi account login --wallet --private-key 0xYourPrivateKey
aomi account login --solana --solana-private-key YourBase58Key
```

See [Authentication](/docs/integrate/authentication) for the identity model. A session ID continues a conversation; it is not an authentication credential.
