Use the NoIdea Rust CLI to connect purchased founder knowledge assets to AI-agent workflows and local development tasks.
Last updated
Published by ReScience Lab Inc., maker of NoIdea.
When to use the CLI
Use the CLI when your workflow starts in a terminal, coding agent, or local script and needs NoIdea marketplace context without opening the web app for every step.
Setup path
Start with /setup.md. The public setup guide explains the agent-facing entry point and the API-key header used by the CLI and HTTP API.
Security boundary
The CLI follows the same access model as the product. It should not be used to expose paid content publicly or to frame marketplace assets as professional advice.
CLI vs web app
| Surface | Best for | Auth |
|---|---|---|
| Web app | Browsing, buying, seller upload | Clerk |
| CLI | Terminal and agent workflows | X-NoIdea-API-Key |
| HTTP API | Programmatic integrations | X-NoIdea-API-Key |
FAQ
Does the CLI use Convex functions directly?
No. The CLI talks to the Convex-backed HTTP API, not Convex functions directly.
Where should agents start?
Agents should start with the public /setup.md guide and then use API keys where account access allows it.
