Overview

Team-X’s command surface is the Command Palette: natural-language commands typed inside the desktop app. There is no separate command-line tool; see No command-line tool for what that means for automation.

Command Palette Reference

Basic Syntax

Open Command Palette: Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+K (macOS)

Natural language syntax:
[verb] [object] [parameters...]

Examples:
- create ticket
- hire employee
- show budget
- assign ticket to Alex

Command Categories

How these commands resolve. The phrasings below are natural-language examples, not a fixed command grammar. Only the 14 structured intents (hire, fire, promote, assign, create ticket / project / goal, close, reopen, call / end meeting, check status, show view, and search vault) plus the /show slash commands are the deterministic surface; they classify to a known intent and execute directly. Everything else here (cancel agent run, start agent for ticket, list runtimes, approve all, and similar operational phrasings) has no dedicated intent; it routes through the complex_request agentic fallback, which reasons over your org state and may ask a clarifying question instead of firing a fixed action.

Advanced Command Patterns

Chained Commands

Multiple actions in one command:

→ Creates ticket + assigns in one step

"show open tickets and assign to Sarah"
→ Filters + assigns matching tickets

"hire designer named Priya and assign ticket #42 to them"
→ Hires + assigns

Conditional Commands

Conditions:
"show tickets with priority high or critical"
"show agents running longer than 30 minutes"
"show spend over $10 per ticket"

Time-Based Commands

Time scopes:
"show tickets created today"
"show spend this week"
"show agent runs from yesterday"
"show budget projection for next month"

No command-line tool

Team-X does not ship a CLI. Ticket, employee, budget, and agent-run management all happen inside the desktop app via the Command Palette (above) or the UI directly.

• No installed teamx binary and no teamx ticket / employee / budget / run / workspace subcommands.
• No hosted REST API, no login, and no TEAMX_API_KEY / TEAMX_WORKSPACE / TEAMX_OUTPUT_FORMAT / TEAMX_TIMEOUT environment variables.
• No Python SDK, no PowerShell module, no Connect-TeamX / Get-TeamXWorkspace / Get-TeamXBudgetSpend cmdlets.
• No curl https://team-x.app/install-cli.sh | bash installer. Team-X is local-first and free-and-open-source; there is no hosted service to install against.

An earlier developer inspection tool, ai-cli (bin team-x-ai), was removed: its knowledge, memory, trace and eval commands printed placeholder figures rather than reading any real store, so it could not be trusted for inspection.

Need scripted workflows?

For automation beyond what the Command Palette offers, the right extension point is to write an MCP server. Tools you implement in your MCP server become callable by any agent whose role spec allows it, and the agent can be triggered by anything from a Command Palette command to a scheduled routine. See the Developer Reference.
