unoverse CLI

unoverse is the one command for everything you do on the platform. Install it once and you can:

create a project, a universe or a client app
author components, nodes and skills in studio
run a universe on your machine, and deploy it to your own server

Install it once

npm install -g unoverse

Update it whenever

unoverse update

One command brings the CLI, your skills and a local universe’s images current. Run it inside a universe and it moves the running services to the latest images, without ever booting a stopped one.

✦ Included, and installed for you

skills

Build for unoverse by describing what you want. The skills teach Claude Code how the platform works, so what it writes actually runs. Components, nodes, workflows and themes are all fair game.

unoverse update installs them. There is nothing to set up. See what you get.

Which commands you get depends on where you are standing. The CLI finds a universe the way git finds a repo, by walking up from where you are. Running a universe of your own needs a licence and the registry token issued with it. Authoring needs neither. Two ways to use unoverse covers the difference.

Help

unoverse help

Outside a universe, that is the whole surface:

unoverse help

  ⬡ unoverse

  Build agent-powered apps. Interfaces as data, workflows on a canvas,
  agent skills in plain markdown.

  First time
    create          Asks what you're building, then sets it up

  After that
    studio          Design components, nodes and agent skills
    lint            Check your components, nodes and skills, the same way deploy does
    deploy          Ship it
      deploy studio         your components, nodes and skills → your universe
      deploy aws            your universe → AWS
      deploy digitalocean   your universe → DigitalOcean
    login           Sign in to a universe (deploy asks by itself when needed)
    update          Update this CLI

Inside a universe folder, a second block appears. You will not see these before then, because there is nothing yet for them to operate:

unoverse help

  This universe
    start       Start it (--pull for the latest images)
    stop        Stop it
    check       Is it healthy (services, schema, environment)
    logs        What is it doing (unoverse logs <service> for one)
    destroy     Take it down (shows what goes, and what stays)
                unoverse destroy aws   ·   unoverse destroy digitalocean
    db-allow    Let this machine reach the database (run it when you change network)

A bare unoverse, unoverse --help and unoverse -h all print the same thing.

The commands

Two work wherever you are: unoverse create sets up a project, a universe or a client app, and unoverse update brings your tooling current. The rest depend on where you are standing.

studio

Command	What it does
`unoverse studio`	Launches studio, downloading it on first run.
`unoverse lint`	Checks every component, app, skill, block and node in the workspace. The same check `deploy studio` runs first.
`unoverse login`	Signs in to a universe. `deploy studio` remembers the address in `unoverse.yaml`.

A universe

Available inside a universe folder.

Command	What it does
`unoverse start`	Starts all services, pulling any missing images. `start --pull` refreshes to the latest images first.
`unoverse stop`	Stops all services.
`unoverse check`	One health answer: containers and endpoints, database schema, and the deeper environment diagnosis.
`unoverse logs`	Opens the Dozzle log viewer. `unoverse logs <service>` streams one service’s logs in the terminal.
`unoverse where`	Prints your universe’s addresses, local and deployed, probed live.
`unoverse destroy`	Takes the deployment down, showing what goes and what stays. Name the ground when you have two: `unoverse destroy aws`.
`unoverse db-allow`	Lets this machine reach the database. Run it when your network changes.
