Quire CLI

A command-line interface to the Quire API for terminal users and shell scripts.

Status: pre-release. Active development; the first published version will be tagged here as v0.1.0.

What it is

quire-cli wraps the Quire REST API for direct human + shell use:

• Single-user, runs locally. No server, no database. The signed-in user is whoever ran quire login on this machine.
• OAuth login via loopback redirect + PKCE. Tokens stored in ~/.config/quire/credentials.json (mode 0600) or the OS keychain when available.
• Composable output. Human-readable tables by default; --json for jq; --quiet for ID-only output that pipes into xargs.
• Full Quire API coverage — tasks (incl. recurrence, approval, timelogs, bulk ops), projects, organizations, comments, chats, documents, insights, custom fields, undo-remove.

What it isn't

• Not a hosted / SaaS tool — runs on your laptop.
• Not an interactive TUI dashboard — v1 is headless subcommands only.

Install (planned)

Once the first version ships:

# npm (most users)
npm i -g quire-cli

# Homebrew tap (macOS / Linux)
brew install quire-io/quire/quire

# Try without installing
npx quire-cli --help

# Or grab a single-file binary from GitHub Releases
# https://github.com/quire-io/quire-cli/releases

Usage (planned)

quire login                                # one-time OAuth setup
quire whoami                               # confirm you're signed in

quire project list
quire task list <project>
quire task tree <task-id> --depth full     # recursive subtree view
quire task search "release notes" --mine

quire task create <project> --name "Ship CLI v1" --due 2026-06-30
quire task complete <task-id>

quire mine --all-orgs --json | jq '.[].name'   # script-friendly

Full command reference will be added once the first commands land.
