cargo-teksilo

API lookup, offline documentation, and agent tooling for applications built on Teksilo.

Install the version your application resolves (0.13.0 or later):

cargo install cargo-teksilo --version <version> --locked

For unpublished versions, use the matching framework checkout:

cargo install --path <checkout>/crates/cargo-teksilo --locked

Commands

Run inside your application's Cargo project:

cargo teksilo symbol Button
cargo teksilo search "scrollable list"
cargo teksilo show docs/scroll-area.md
cargo teksilo init --agent codex --agent claude
cargo teksilo agent install cursor cline
cargo teksilo agent list
cargo teksilo probe install
cargo teksilo model fetch
cargo teksilo status --json
cargo teksilo --version

init installs the probe harness and agent instructions. Without --agent, it uses existing configuration to detect targets. Explicit targets create their required directories, even when no marker exists. Use -y to skip confirmation.

agent install writes instructions only, without a confirmation prompt. Targets: claude, cursor, windsurf, cline, copilot, codex, vibe, opencode. Claude receives a full skill; the others receive rules or a managed AGENTS.md section. --user supports claude, vibe, and opencode and writes no harness. Shared-file text outside the managed region is preserved. --force replaces conflicting generated files.

--quiet suppresses informational messages; --verbose shows paths and diagnostics. search --json, status --json, and agent list --json emit structured output. API declarations and document contents are never shortened.

Requirements

symbol requires Python 3. Semantic search uses ONNX Runtime and a model (~129 MB) downloaded explicitly by model fetch. Until cached, search uses BM25; neither init nor search downloads the model. The model lives in the user cache, overridable with FASTEMBED_CACHE_DIR.

To build without semantic search:

cargo install cargo-teksilo --no-default-features

Version matching

The tool follows the selected app's resolved dependency graph. Patch differences produce a note; major or minor mismatches are refused. Multiple framework versions at a virtual workspace root require running from the intended member.

For apps on different minors, install separate tools with cargo install --root <directory> and select the appropriate binary on PATH.

The old setup, bare probe, and version commands are replaced by init, probe install, and --version/status. --no-model is removed; model download is explicit.
