# Automation and CLI

Use `rho run` for non-interactive automation. It sends one prompt, prints the final answer to stdout, and exits.

```bash
rho run "summarize this repository"
printf 'summarize this repository' | rho run --stdin
rho run "review this diff" --stdin < diff.txt
```

Use the [interactive TUI](/interactive-tui) when you want an ongoing session. Use `rho run` when you want a single answer for a script, hook, alias, pipeline, or CI job.

## CLI reference

```text
Usage: rho [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

Commands:
  run   Run one non-interactive automation prompt and print the final answer
  help  Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
      --provider <PROVIDER>
      --model <MODEL>
      --config <CONFIG>
      --auth <AUTH>          [possible values: api-key, codex]
  -R, --resume <RESUME>      Resume an existing session by UUID or UUID prefix
  -h, --help                 Print help
```

Provider, model, auth, and config options affect [authentication and models](/authentication-and-models) and persistent [configuration](/configuration).

## `rho run`

`rho run` accepts prompt text as arguments and can append stdin with `--stdin`:

```text
Usage: rho run [OPTIONS] [PROMPT]...

Arguments:
  [PROMPT]...  Prompt text to send to the agent

Options:
      --stdin  Read additional prompt text from stdin
  -h, --help   Print help
```

`rho run` uses the same [tools and workspace](/tools-workspace) behavior as the TUI. It runs in the current working directory and can read files, write files, edit files, and run shell commands when the model chooses those tools.
