CLI
The same runtime Studio bundles, without the window. One install brings the MCP server, the hook supervisor and the local cache to macOS, Windows and Linux, and every command speaks JSON when a script is reading.

A browser PKCE flow on a desktop, and a device code flow that works over SSH or on a box with no browser at all.
Three commands, and the fourth tells you whether it worked. Cloud-only flows like billing and team admin open Pathrule Web in your browser rather than being reimplemented in the terminal.
01
Install and sign in
One npm install, then a browser flow on a desktop or a device code over SSH.
02
Attach a workspace
Bind it to a local directory, which is how a session's working directory resolves to the right knowledge.
03
Install your clients
Configs and hooks are written for Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot. Standalone Claude Code and Codex CLI are available too, and pathrule doctor confirms every connection.
