Univer Workspace CLI

Remote authoring and inspection for Univer Workspace files. The CLI provides Space discovery, per-task Worktrees, version-matched Facade guidance, model readback, and browser review.

univer-workspace-cli is independent from univer, not a variant: it operates remote Workspace files, while univer operates local univerfiles.

Install and configure the target Workspace:

npm install -g univer-workspace-cli
univer-workspace-cli config set workspace.origin https://workspace.example.com
univer-workspace-cli login --json

Relay the first login command's verification URL and code to the user, then stop. Run --complete only after the user confirms approval; do not poll while approval is pending.

univer-workspace-cli login --complete --json
univer-workspace-cli doctor

Keep the CLI current

Use these commands to compare the installed CLI with the latest public release:

univer-workspace-cli --version
npm view univer-workspace-cli@latest version --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Complete the current Workspace task before upgrading. This CLI has no update command; install the new package version explicitly, then reload its operational Skills:

npm install -g univer-workspace-cli@latest
univer-workspace-cli doctor --json
univer-workspace-cli skills get core

Start here

This file is the discovery entry, not the operational guide. Before using Workspace commands for a task, load the complete core Skill from the installed CLI:

univer-workspace-cli skills get core          # remote model, workflow, evidence, and handoff
univer-workspace-cli skills get core --full   # include direct references

Runtime Skills ship with the CLI so their commands and Facade APIs match the installed version.

Core Model

• Configure one Workspace origin, then authenticate against it.
• A Space is the file container users browse. Its tree contains Nodes identified by nodeId; a Univer Resource attached to a Node is identified by resourceId.
• A Unit is editable Sheet, Doc, Slide, Base, or Board content identified by unitId after its Resource is staged in a Worktree.
• Start every new task in a new Worktree. Continue a known Worktree only for rework on that same task; there is no implicit current Worktree or Unit.
• Command success is not correctness evidence. Read back the stored model and inspect rendered output when appearance matters.

Use public CLI and Facade surfaces. execute commits captured mutations as one Worktree revision, and merge remains an explicit user review decision.

Unit Skills

After core, load the Skill matching the target top-level Unit before authoring:

univer-workspace-cli skills get sheet
univer-workspace-cli skills get doc
univer-workspace-cli skills get slide
univer-workspace-cli skills get base
univer-workspace-cli skills get board

Use univer-workspace-cli skills list to discover the installed set. Each Unit Skill owns its creation recipe, injected Facade root, readback guidance, and visual verification requirements. For cross-Unit composition, also load univer-workspace-cli skills get embed or univer-workspace-cli skills get cross-unit-formula after the Host and Source Unit Skills.

Task Routing

Task	Load and use
Authenticate or discover a Personal/Team Space file	core
Stage an existing file or create/import a new Unit in a task Worktree	core + target Unit
Inspect or edit Sheet values, formulas, formatting, charts, or tables	core + sheet
Create or refine Doc paragraphs, rich text, tables, charts, or pagination	core + doc
Build or review Slide pages, shapes, text, images, tables, or charts	core + slide
Inspect or edit Base tables, fields, records, views, or formulas	core + base
Build or review a Board canvas and its verified elements	core + board
Embed a Unit or back a Chart with another Unit	core + Host + Source + embed
Use Source data in a formula or formula-driven Shape	core + Host + Source + cross-unit-formula
Verify, screenshot, export, mark ready, or generate a review URL	core + target Unit

Why Univer Workspace CLI

• Space discovery resolves remote files before they enter a Worktree.
• Worktrees isolate one agent task until review, merge, or discard.
• Offline api show / api find resolves exact Facade symbols for the installed SDK.
• Runtime inspection and the Workspace review page verify stored and rendered results.
• Import/export and screenshots use the Workspace product runtime rather than unrelated file writers.

Do not substitute local office writers or bypass the remote Worktree lifecycle. Follow the loaded core and Unit Skills for the supported path.

Diagnose

univer-workspace-cli --help
univer-workspace-cli doctor
univer-workspace-cli skills list
univer-workspace-cli skills path

Use univer-workspace-cli <command> --help for exact syntax. If the CLI is unavailable, the Workspace origin is not configured, authentication is missing, or doctor reports a blocking runtime failure, stop and report the diagnostic instead of switching tools.
