CLI Reference

日本語

This document provides a complete reference for all TAKT CLI commands and options.

Global Options

Option Description
--pipeline Enable pipeline (non-interactive) mode -- required for CI/automation
-t, --task <text> Task content (alternative to GitHub Issue)
-i, --issue <N> GitHub issue number (same as #N in interactive mode)
-w, --piece <name or path> Piece name or path to piece YAML file
-b, --branch <name> Specify branch name (auto-generated if omitted)
--pr <number> PR number to fetch review comments and fix
--auto-pr Create PR after execution (pipeline mode only)
--draft Create PR as draft (requires --auto-pr or auto_pr config)
--skip-git Skip branch creation, commit, and push (pipeline mode, piece-only)
--repo <owner/repo> Specify repository (for PR creation)
-q, --quiet Minimal output mode: suppress AI output (for CI)
--provider <name> Override agent provider (claude|codex|opencode|cursor|copilot|mock)
--model <name> Override agent model
--config <path> Path to global config file (default: ~/.takt/config.yaml)

Interactive Mode

A mode where you refine task content through conversation with AI before execution. Useful when task requirements are ambiguous or when you want to clarify content while consulting with AI.

# Start interactive mode (no arguments)
takt

# Specify initial message (short word only)
takt hello

Note: --task option skips interactive mode and executes the task directly. Issue references (#6, --issue) are used as initial input in interactive mode.

Flow

  1. Select piece
  2. Select interactive mode (assistant / persona / quiet / passthrough)
  3. Refine task content through conversation with AI
  4. Finalize task instructions with /go (you can also add additional instructions like /go additional instructions), or use /play <task> to execute a task immediately
  5. Execute (run piece, create PR)

Interactive Mode Variants

Mode Description
assistant Default. AI asks clarifying questions before generating task instructions.
persona Conversation with the first movement's persona (uses its system prompt and tools).
quiet Generates task instructions without asking questions (best-effort).
passthrough Passes user input directly as task text without AI processing.

Pieces can set a default mode via the interactive_mode field in YAML.

Execution Example

$ takt

Select piece:
  > default (current)
    Development/
    Research/
    Cancel

Interactive mode - Enter task content. Commands: /go (execute), /cancel (exit)

> I want to add user authentication feature

[AI confirms and organizes requirements]

> /go

Proposed task instructions:
---
Implement user authentication feature.

Requirements:
- Login with email address and password
- JWT token-based authentication
- Password hashing (bcrypt)
- Login/logout API endpoints
---

Proceed with these task instructions? (Y/n) y

[Piece execution starts...]

Direct Task Execution

Use the --task option to skip interactive mode and execute directly.

# Specify task content with --task option
takt --task "Fix bug"

# Specify piece
takt --task "Add authentication" --piece dual

Note: Passing a string as an argument (e.g., takt "Add login feature") enters interactive mode with it as the initial message.

GitHub Issue Tasks

You can execute GitHub Issues directly as tasks. Issue title, body, labels, and comments are automatically incorporated as task content.

# Execute by specifying issue number
takt #6
takt --issue 6

# Issue + piece specification
takt #6 --piece dual

Requirements: GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated.

Task Management Commands

Batch processing using .takt/tasks.yaml with task directories under .takt/tasks/{slug}/. Useful for accumulating multiple tasks and executing them together later.

takt add

Refine task requirements through AI conversation, then add a task to .takt/tasks.yaml.

# Refine task requirements through AI conversation, then add task
takt add

# Add task from GitHub Issue (issue number reflected in branch name)
takt add #28

takt run

Execute all pending tasks from .takt/tasks.yaml.

# Execute all pending tasks in .takt/tasks.yaml
takt run

takt watch

Monitor .takt/tasks.yaml and auto-execute tasks as a resident process.

# Monitor .takt/tasks.yaml and auto-execute tasks (resident process)
takt watch

takt list

List task branches and perform actions (merge, delete, merge from root, etc.).

# List task branches (merge/delete)
takt list

# Non-interactive mode (for CI/scripts)
takt list --non-interactive
takt list --non-interactive --action diff --branch takt/my-branch
takt list --non-interactive --action delete --branch takt/my-branch --yes
takt list --non-interactive --format json

In interactive mode, Merge from root merges the root repository HEAD into the worktree branch with AI-assisted conflict resolution.

Task Directory Workflow (Create / Run / Verify)

  1. Run takt add and confirm a pending record is created in .takt/tasks.yaml.
  2. Open the generated .takt/tasks/{slug}/order.md and add detailed specifications/references as needed.
  3. Run takt run (or takt watch) to execute pending tasks from tasks.yaml.
  4. Verify outputs in .takt/runs/{slug}/reports/ using the same slug as task_dir.

Pipeline Mode

Specifying --pipeline enables non-interactive pipeline mode. Automatically creates branch, runs piece, commits and pushes. Suitable for CI/CD automation.

# Execute task in pipeline mode
takt --pipeline --task "Fix bug"

# Pipeline execution + auto-create PR
takt --pipeline --task "Fix bug" --auto-pr

# Link issue information
takt --pipeline --issue 99 --auto-pr

# Specify piece and branch
takt --pipeline --task "Fix bug" -w magi -b feat/fix-bug

# Specify repository (for PR creation)
takt --pipeline --task "Fix bug" --auto-pr --repo owner/repo

# Piece execution only (skip branch creation, commit, push)
takt --pipeline --task "Fix bug" --skip-git

# Minimal output mode (for CI)
takt --pipeline --task "Fix bug" --quiet

In pipeline mode, PRs are not created unless --auto-pr is specified.

GitHub Integration: When using TAKT in GitHub Actions, see takt-action. You can automate PR reviews and task execution.
