Coven Interactive UI — Quick Start

coven (and its explicit forms coven chat / coven tui) opens the interactive Coven UI. The UI is provided by the separate coven-code front-end; the coven binary finds it on PATH or under ~/.coven-code/bin and hands the terminal over to it.

Install

# The Coven CLI
npm install -g @opencoven/cli

# The interactive front-end
npm install -g @opencoven/coven-code
# or:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/OpenCoven/coven-code/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

Run

cd /path/to/your/project
coven

If coven-code is not installed, coven prints the install commands above instead of opening the UI.

Prefer plain commands?

Everything the UI does is also available as explicit CLI commands:

coven doctor                      # check your setup
coven status                      # daemon, sessions, familiars, skills, hub at a glance
coven run codex "fix the tests"   # launch a recorded session
coven sessions                    # browse sessions (plain table when piped)
coven attach <session-id-prefix>  # follow a session

You can also hand a task straight to Cast — Coven shows a plan card, then runs it in a recorded session:

coven "explain this repo in 5 bullets"

Legacy in-process shell

The previous built-in slash shell is deprecated and will be removed. If you need it during the transition:
