CLI Commands Reference

Complete reference for the Conductor CLI.

Getting Started

No installation needed - use npx to run the CLI:

# Launch the interactive wizard
npx @ensemble-edge/ensemble

# Or run specific commands
npx @ensemble-edge/ensemble conductor init my-project
npx @ensemble-edge/ensemble conductor --help

Usage

All Conductor commands are accessed through the unified Ensemble CLI:

ensemble conductor init my-project
ensemble conductor dev
ensemble conductor validate

For CI/automated environments, use the -y flag to skip all interactive prompts:

npx @ensemble-edge/conductor init my-project -y

Global Commands

init

Initialize a new Conductor project.

ensemble conductor init [project-name]

Options:

Option	Description
`--setup <type>`	Project setup type: `full`, `starter`, `basic` (default: `full`)
`--examples`	Include example agents & ensembles (same as `--setup full`)
`--no-examples`	Template only, no examples (same as `--setup starter`)
`--skip-install`	Skip dependency installation
`--pm <manager>`	Package manager: `npm`, `pnpm`, `yarn`, `bun`
`-f, --force`	Overwrite existing directory
`-y, --yes`	Non-interactive mode (skip all prompts)

Setup Types:

Type	Description
`full`	Recommended. Complete template with example agents, ensembles, and docs. Great for learning.
`starter`	Ready-to-code template without examples. Clean slate for experienced users.
`basic`	Minimal stub for manual setup. Advanced users only.

Examples:

# Interactive wizard (recommended)
ensemble conductor init my-project

# With examples (full template)
ensemble conductor init my-project --setup full

# Without examples (starter template)
ensemble conductor init my-project --setup starter
ensemble conductor init my-project --no-examples

# Minimal setup (basic)
ensemble conductor init my-project --setup basic

# Non-interactive (CI/CD mode)
ensemble conductor init my-project --yes

# With specific package manager
ensemble conductor init my-project --pm pnpm

# Force overwrite existing directory
ensemble conductor init my-project --force -y

What init does:

Creates project directory structure
Installs dependencies (@ensemble-edge/conductor, etc.)
Copies project templates (for full and starter modes)
Configures dev scripts for your environment
Provides next steps

Need to configure AI later? If you skipped AI setup during init, you can run:

ensemble configure ai

See Configure Command for details.

configure

Configure AI providers, authentication, and other settings after project creation.

ensemble configure [subcommand]

Subcommands:

Subcommand	Description
`ai`	Configure AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cloudflare AI, Groq)
`auth`	Configure Cloudflare authentication (wrangler login)

Options:

Option	Description
`--provider <name>`	Pre-select AI provider (anthropic, openai, cloudflare, groq)
`-y, --yes`	Skip confirmation prompts

Examples:

# Interactive menu
ensemble configure

# Configure AI directly
ensemble configure ai

# Pre-select provider
ensemble configure ai --provider anthropic

# Configure Cloudflare authentication
ensemble configure auth

What configure ai does:

Prompts for AI provider selection
Prompts for API key (except Cloudflare AI)
Stores secret via wrangler secret put
Enables [ai] binding in wrangler.toml

What configure auth does:

Checks if already logged in to Cloudflare
Opens browser for OAuth login if needed

Supported Providers:

Provider	Secret Name	Notes
`cloudflare`	—	Built-in, no API key needed
`anthropic`	`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	Claude models (recommended)
`openai`	`OPENAI_API_KEY`	GPT-4 and GPT-3.5
`groq`	`GROQ_API_KEY`	Fast inference with Llama and Mixtral

The configure command requires a wrangler.toml file. Run it from your project directory after init. The same wizards are used during ensemble conductor init to ensure consistency.

info

Show comprehensive project info including configuration, components, triggers, Cloudflare services, and deployment health.

ensemble conductor info [options]

Options:

Option	Description
`--json`	Output as JSON (for CI/scripting)
`--compact`	Compact single-line format
`--no-health-check`	Skip worker health ping

Command Naming: info is the official command. status is an alias that works identically.

Arguments:

Argument	Description
`path`	Path to file or directory to validate (default: current directory)

# Validate a TypeScript agent
ensemble conductor validate agents/my-agent/index.ts

Example output for common issues:

  No default export found. TypeScript agents must export a default function:

  export default async function(context: AgentExecutionContext) {
    // your code here
  }

Examples:

# Validate current directory
ensemble conductor validate

# Validate specific file
ensemble conductor validate ensembles/workflow.yaml
