First: which AI do you use?

Pick your app and the steps appear below.

Works with Claude, with some setup first

Install Node.js on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

Let AI install it

Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Cool Workflow for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "cool-workflow": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "cool-workflow" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Cool Workflow tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

  1. Install Node.js (if you don’t have it)

    Already installed? Check first · Open Terminal, type this command and press Enter

    node -v
    • A version number such as v26.13.1 = installed, skip this step
    • "command not found" (on Windows: "is not recognized") = not installed yet, or installed but Terminal needs to be closed and reopened
    How to open Terminal

    Mac: press ⌘ + Space, type Terminal, press Enter

    Windows: open Start, type Windows PowerShell, then Open

    Not installed: Open the official download page, pick the LTS version and the click-through installer: .pkg on Mac · .msi on Windows. Double-click and follow it to the end. No curl command needed

    Open the Node.js download page ↗

    When it’s done, close Terminal, open it again and run the same command. You should see a version number: node -v

    Install once; it works for everything that needs Node.js

  2. Open the Claude desktop app’s settings file

Common questions

Is Cool Workflow safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.97) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

A saved, checkable record of what your AI agent did — every claim tied to a line of code.
cw -q "How does auth work?"               →  report.md: the answer, each claim cited as file.ts:42

cw check -- npm test → ✓ passed: npm test (exit 0 at 1a2b3c4) — receipt rc-… cw report verify-bundle .cwrun.json → ✓ bundle verifies — offline, with only the public key

Cool Workflow (cw) keeps the books for AI work. Your agent does the work. CW plans the tasks, records each claim with the lines it rests on, refuses a result whose evidence does not hold, and writes a report you can check later. It never runs a model, never holds your keys, and never uploads your code.

Install

npm install -g cool-workflow

Needs Node.js v22.13 or newer (node -v). cw version prints the version when the install worked. Runs on Linux and macOS. On Windows, install and run it inside WSL, with your agent in WSL too; native Windows is not supported. Install trouble? See Install trouble.

Or install with Homebrew

brew tap coo1white/cool-workflow https://github.com/coo1white/cool-workflow

brew install coo1white/cool-workflow/cool-workflow

Upgrade later with brew update && brew upgrade cool-workflow.

Is CW for you?

Yes, if you use an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, …) and want its answers saved, cited and checkable: by you next week, by a reviewer, or by someone who only has the file.

Not yet, or not at all, if you want:

  • a model or a chat window. CW does not run models and is not a chat UI. It drives the agent you already have.
  • native Windows. Use WSL.
  • proof the agent was right. A verified report shows the signed findings reached you unaltered. It does not prove they are true, or that none were left out. See Can You Trust the Report?

Try it in seconds

Ask about your code. In a git project:

cw -q "How does auth work end-to-end here?"

CW uses the first agent on your PATH, or the one you name with a flag from the table below (for one, -claude). The report opens in your browser at the end; cw report --open opens it again. A real run's report, rebuilt on every push: [coo1white.github.io/cool-workflow](https://coo1white.github.io/cool-workflow/).

3 · Keep proof your tests passed. An agent that says "all tests pass" has only said it. cw check -- npm test runs the command (never a model) and keeps a receipt: the commit, the exit code, a digest of the output. A result that cites receipt:rc-… is checked again before it counts. In Claude Code, with CW installed as a plugin and cw on your PATH, the agent's test runs (npm test, pytest, go test, …) get receipts by themselves; set CW_AUTO_RECEIPT=off to stop that.

4 · Hand the run to someone else. cw report bundle seals it into one file; cw report verify-bundle .cwrun.json checks it offline, on any machine.

🧪 beta: CW has a wrapper and an offline test for it, but no real login has been checked with it yet, and cw never picks it by itself: add its flag. Log in to your agent once on its own first. CW uses it as it is set up and never asks for your keys.

Can You Trust the Report?

CW does not run the model — it keeps the books. Your agent signs its findings (ed25519), and cw report verify-bundle checks — offline, with only the public key — that every signed finding is in the report unaltered. CW holds no private key: the agent signs, CW only verifies. This proves the signed findings reached you unaltered — not that nothing else was added, and not that none were left out. See the [Trust Model](plugins/cool-workflow/docs/reference.md#trust-model).

Small enough to read. The CLI is about 4,950 lines of TypeScript with zero runtime dependencies, so you can read all of what keeps your books. A CI gate holds it at 5,000 lines or fewer.
