Ever CLI

ever-cli is the root router for the Ever CLI ecosystem.

It provides a single top-level command:

ever <product> <command> [args...]

Examples:

ever works init
ever works --help
ever install works
ever doctor

The router does not contain product-specific business logic. It resolves and forwards commands to product CLIs such as ever-works.

Current Architecture

This repository is being migrated from the old TypeScript stub to a Rust-based router with:

• a native Rust binary as the runtime
• a thin npm wrapper in bin/ever.js
• platform-specific npm packages for native binaries
• manifest-based plugin resolution via ~/.ever/plugins.json

Reference docs:

• docs/SPEC.md
• docs/IMPLEMENTATION_SPEC.md

Local Development

Build the native router:

cargo build --release

Run the wrapper against the local build:

node ./bin/ever.js --help

Or after install:

ever --help

Useful commands:

npm run sync:versions
npm run check:publish-prereqs

Packaging Model

The main package is:

• ever-cli

It depends on platform-specific native packages such as:

• @ever-co/cli-linux-x64-gnu
• @ever-co/cli-darwin-arm64
• @ever-co/cli-win32-x64-msvc

The publish flow is:

1. build native binaries
2. prepare platform package directories
3. publish platform packages
4. publish the main ever-cli package

Publishing on NPM

Publishing is currently driven by GitHub Actions:

• native build workflow:
  • .github/workflows/build-native-binaries.yml
• npm publish workflow:
  • .github/workflows/publish-npm-packages.yml

Before publish, the npm token must have publish access to the @ever-co npm scope.

The publish workflow now verifies:

• npm authentication via npm whoami
• scope access via npm access list packages @ever-co --json

If those checks fail, the workflow stops before building and publishing artifacts.

Manual prerequisite check

npm run check:publish-prereqs

CI

GitHub Actions is the primary CI path for native builds and npm publishing.

CircleCI is kept as an additional build verification path and no longer documents the old npm release flow.
