cli-anything-mubu is a Python CLI skill that reads, searches, and updates Mubu outlines from the terminal for developers and agents who sync research notes into coding workflows.

About

cli-anything-mubu is an hkuds/cli-anything packaged CLI skill that reads, searches, and updates Mubu outlines from the terminal so coding agents can sync research notes and structured thinking into implementation tasks. The canonical entrypoint installs via pip install -e . and requires Python 3.10+, an active Mubu desktop session on the machine, and local Mubu profile data accessible to the CLI. Developers invoke cli-anything-mubu or python -m cli_anything.mubu, and running without a subcommand opens an interactive REPL session. Optional MUBU_DAILY_FOLDER enables no-argument daily helpers for routine outline access. cli-anything-mubu fits developers who keep Mubu mind maps for specs and want agents to pull outline nodes, search headings, or push structured updates without manual copy paste. The skill is the canonical packaged bridge from the agent-harness source tree rather than a standalone REST API, so agents must run where Mubu desktop data is available locally.

  • Mubu outline access
  • Note search and updates
  • PKM-to-code bridge
  • Agent-readable structured notes
  • cli-anything external app wrap

How do you access Mubu outlines from the terminal?

Read, search, and update Mubu outlines from the terminal so agents can sync research notes and structured thinking into coding tasks.

Who is it for?

Developers using Mubu desktop for research who want agents to read, search, and update outlines via Python 3.10+ CLI on the same machine.

Skip if: Teams without Mubu desktop installed or environments where local Mubu profile data is unavailable to CLI processes.

When should I use this skill?

A developer or agent needs to read, search, or update Mubu outlines from the terminal during research-to-code workflows.

What you get

Mubu outline reads, search results, updated outline nodes, and REPL or JSON command output synced into agent workflows.

  • Outline read output
  • Search results
  • Updated outline nodes

By the numbers

  • Requires Python 3.10+ with 2 documented CLI entry points

cli-anything-mubu

Canonical packaged entrypoint for the Mubu live bridge.

Installation

This CLI is packaged from the canonical agent-harness source tree:

pip install -e .

Prerequisites:

  • Python 3.10+
  • An active Mubu desktop session on this machine
  • Local Mubu profile data available to the CLI
  • Set MUBU_DAILY_FOLDER if you want no-argument daily helpers

Entry Points

cli-anything-mubu
python -m cli_anything.mubu

When invoked without a subcommand, the CLI enters an interactive REPL session.

Command Groups

Discover

Discovery commands for folders, documents, recency, and daily-document resolution.

CommandDescription

| docs | List latest known document snapshots from local backups. |

| folders | List folder metadata from local RxDB storage. |

| folder-docs | List document metadata for one folder. |

| path-docs | List documents for one folder path or folder id. |

| recent | List recently active documents using backups, metadata, and sync logs. |

| daily | Find Daily-style folders and list the documents inside them. |

| daily-current | Resolve the current daily document from one Daily-style folder. |

Inspect

Inspection commands for tree views, search, links, sync events, and live node targeting.

CommandDescription

| show | Show the latest backup tree for one document. |

| search | Search latest backups for matching node text or note content. |

| changes | Parse recent client-sync change events from local logs. |

| links | Extract outbound Mubu document links from one document backup. |

| open-path | Open one document by full path, suffix path, title, or doc id. |

| doc-nodes | List live document nodes with node ids and update-target paths. |

| daily-nodes | List live nodes from the current daily document in one step. |

Mutate

Mutation commands for dry-run-first atomic live edits against the Mubu API.

CommandDescription

| create-child | Build or execute one child-node creation against the live Mubu API. |

| delete-node | Build or execute one node deletion against the live Mubu API. |

| update-text | Build or execute one text update against the live Mubu API. |

Session

Session and state commands for current document/node context and local command history.

CommandDescription

| status | Show the current session state. |

| state-path | Show the session state file path. |

| use-doc | Persist the current document reference. |

| use-node | Persist the current node reference. |

| use-daily | Resolve and persist the current daily document reference. |

| clear-doc | Clear the current document reference. |

| clear-node | Clear the current node reference. |

| history | Show recent command history stored in session state. |

Recommended Agent Workflow

discover daily-current '<daily-folder-ref>' --json
        ->
inspect daily-nodes '<daily-folder-ref>' --query '<anchor>' --json
        ->
session use-doc '<doc_path>'
        ->
mutate update-text / create-child / delete-node --json
        ->
--execute only after payload inspection

Safety Rules

1. Prefer grouped commands for agent use; flat legacy commands remain for compatibility. 2. Use --json whenever an agent will parse the output. 3. Prefer discover or inspect commands before any mutate command. 4. Live mutations are dry-run by default and only execute with --execute. 5. Prefer --node-id and --parent-node-id over text matching. 6. delete-node removes the full targeted subtree. 7. Even same-text updates can still advance document version history. 8. Pass a daily-folder reference explicitly or set MUBU_DAILY_FOLDER before using no-arg daily helpers.

Examples

Interactive REPL Session

Start an interactive session with persistent document and node context.

cli-anything-mubu
# Enter commands interactively
# Use 'help' to see builtins
# Use session commands to persist current-doc/current-node

Discover Current Daily Note

Resolve the current daily note from an explicit folder reference.

cli-anything-mubu --json discover daily-current '<daily-folder-ref>'

Dry-Run Atomic Update

Inspect the exact outgoing payload before a live mutation.

cli-anything-mubu mutate update-text '<doc-ref>' --node-id <node-id> --text 'new text' --json

Session State

The CLI maintains lightweight session state in JSON:

  • current_doc
  • current_node
  • local command history

Use the session command group to inspect or update this state.

For AI Agents

1. Start with discover or inspect, not mutate. 2. Use session status --json to recover persisted context. 3. Use grouped commands in generated prompts and automation. 4. Verify postconditions after any live mutation. 5. Read the package TEST.md and README.md when stricter operational detail is needed.
