Echo CLI (NPM)

A Node.js command-line interface for task management, Git operations, and AI assistance that integrates with the Qirvo Dashboard.

✨ What is Qirvo CLI?

Qirvo CLI (also known as echo-cli) gives you seamless control over your tasks, tools, and automation workflows — all from your terminal. It's the command-line companion to the Qirvo Command Dashboard, enabling:

• ✅ AI-enhanced task execution
• ⚙️ System command chaining with context
• 🧠 Local memory and task queueing
• 🔁 n8n, GitHub, and shell integration
• 🧑‍💻 Developer tools, Git actions, and project control

Think of it as a terminal-native productivity engine designed for both everyday users and software teams.

Installation

Via NPM (Recommended)

npm install -g @qirvo/echo-cli

From Source

git clone https://github.com/ultracoolbru/qirvo-echo-cli.git
cd qirvo-echo-cli
npm install
npm run build
npm link
npm install -g

Configuration

1. Setup and Authentication

The CLI connects to the Qirvo Dashboard using secure backend authentication. No Firebase configuration required!

Simply run the setup command:

e config setup

This will prompt you for:

• API URL: Your Qirvo Dashboard URL (default: https://app.qirvo.ai || http://localhost:3000)
• Email & Password: Your Qirvo account credentials

🔐 How it works: The CLI securely authenticates with your Qirvo backend and stores an encrypted token for subsequent requests.

This will interactively prompt you for:

• API URL: Your Qirvo Dashboard URL (default: https://app.qirvo.ai || http://localhost:3000)
• User ID: Your user ID
• Email & Password: Your Qirvo account credentials

Getting Your Configuration Values

1. API URL: The URL where your Qirvo Dashboard is hosted (https://app.qirvo.ai || http://localhost:3000)
2. User ID: Found in your Qirvo ECHO CLI - Show Setup Guide
