Terminal-first autonomous developer. Plans, builds, reviews, runs QA, and self-repairs sprints over the Cursor Agent SDK.
This is the public distribution channel — every release ships precompiled, verified binaries here. The source code lives privately; the binary you install is built from a private repo and uploaded here by an automated release pipeline.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/ohmaseclaro/lathe-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bashOr via Homebrew (macOS):
brew install ohmaseclaro/lathe/latheOr via npm:
npm install -g @lathe-cli/latheAfter installation:
lathe setupThis prompts for your Cursor API key (https://cursor.com/dashboard/integrations,
starts with crsr_) and your OpenAI API key
(https://platform.openai.com/api-keys, starts with sk-), then installs
graphify (used for codebase
awareness; auto-installed via uv/pipx/pip). Both keys land in
~/Library/Application Support/lathe/setup.json (macOS) or
~/.cache/lathe/setup.json (Linux), chmod 0600.

(latest by default; stable is ~1 week behind). The check runs in the

Explicit update:
lathe updateEvery release includes per-binary .sha256 sidecar files and a
manifest.json listing canonical SHA256 + URL for each platform. Releases
that have a GPG signing key configured also ship manifest.json.sig; the
installer verifies it against a fingerprint pinned at install time.
