Documentation / CLI guide
Use the Devcanon CLI
Learn commands, interactive shortcuts, automation, and validation.
Run devcanon without arguments for the interactive prompt, or invoke commands directly in scripts and CI.
Initialize a repository
Initialization adds missing standards and preserves local files. Use --no-root-agents only when another discovery mechanism already exists.
Interactive shortcuts
/init [path]— install standards./install [path]— alias for init./check [path]— validate the handbook./update --dry-run— preview packaged changes./configure— customize standards interactively./cd [path]— change the current target./helpand/exit— discover or leave.
Automation
Pin Devcanon as a development dependency and call it from package scripts for reproducible CI.
