CLI

The forgetrail package is an installer. It writes methodology files into an app folder. It is not something the app imports.

forgetrail install [--lite] [options]
forgetrail mcp <subcommand>

Install options

Flag	Meaning
`--lite`	Lite protocol only (`.forgetrail/FORGETRAIL_LITE.md`)
`--with-genesis-stub`	With `--lite`: also create `docs/GENESIS.md` stub
`--force`, `-f`	Overwrite existing files
`--dry-run`	Preview without writing
`--path`, `-p <dir>`	Install elsewhere (default: current directory)

Examples:

pnpm dlx forgetrail install --lite --with-genesis-stub
pnpm dlx forgetrail install
pnpm dlx forgetrail install --lite --dry-run

From a clone: pnpm run link:global, then the same commands. Or copy the repo into the app as _forgetrail/ and use INITIAL_PROMPT.md.

forgetrail mcp build
forgetrail mcp status --ping
forgetrail mcp ping
forgetrail mcp cursor-config

Prefer pnpm dlx forgetrail over npm 12 npx forgetrail. The latter may fail to spawn the bin.
