Cori has exactly eight verbs. There is no cori init, cori save, cori register, cori workers, cori ls, cori rm, cori serve, cori push, cori pull, or cori workflows command.

`cori run`

cori run <path-or-ref> [--json] [--dry-run] [--update] [--yes] [<param>=<value>...]

Run a workflow. <path-or-ref> is either a local folder path or a git ref.

Flag	Description
`--json`	Output the workflow result as JSON to stdout
`--dry-run`	Plan the workflow without executing any activities
`--update`	Re-resolve remote refs (fetch latest matching version)
`--yes`	Skip the first-run consent prompt for remote workflows
`<param>=<value>`	Pass parameter values; may be repeated

Example:

cori run ./translate_product_sheets_fr \
  input_file=products.csv \
  spreadsheet_id=1BxiM... \
  --json

`cori check`

cori check <path-or-ref> [--update] [--yes]

Validate a workflow: verify the manifest, compile step files, check declared tools. Does not execute.

Flag	Description
`--update`	Re-resolve remote refs
`--yes`	Skip first-run consent for remote refs

`cori show`

cori show <path-or-ref>

Display a workflow's metadata (name, description, parameters, tools required) and its recent runs.

`cori runs`

cori runs list
cori runs show <run-id>

cori runs list — list recent workflow runs with timestamps and status.

cori runs show <run-id> — display the full JSON trace for a specific run.

`cori work`

cori work [--shared <name>]

Start a long-lived worker process.

Without --shared: listens on your identity-derived task queue. Makes this machine available as a worker for workflows you run from other machines.
--shared <name>: join the named shared pool. Workflows can dispatch steps to this pool by declaring task_queue: <name>.

cori login <capability>

Authenticate a capability (e.g., a specific MCP server or LLM provider). Stores the credential in the OS keychain.

`cori status`

cori status

Show the current Temporal endpoint, your identity, and any workers that are currently online.

There is no cori workers status. Use cori status.

`cori config`

cori config get <key>
cori config set <key> <value>

Read or write values in ~/.cori/config.toml.

Examples:

cori config get temporal.host
cori config set temporal.host temporal.mycompany.com:7233
cori config set llm.openai.api_key sk-...

Environment variables

Variable	Effect
`CORI_TEMPORAL_TARGET`	Override Temporal endpoint (takes precedence over config file)
`CORI_ASSUME_YES`	When set to `1`, skip first-run consent prompts (`--yes` equivalent)
`CORI_REAUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS`	Timeout in seconds for re-authentication prompts
`CORI_DENO`	Path to the Deno binary (if not on `PATH`)
