Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cool-workflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cool-workflow"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add cool-workflow -- npx -y cool-workflow

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cool-workflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cool-workflow"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "cool-workflow": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cool-workflow"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Cool Workflow safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (0.1.97) reached the registry 4 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?

Get a saved report from your AI agent, with every claim tied to a line of code — not a chat answer you lose.

What is this?

Cool Workflow (cw) is a small command-line tool that turns your AI coding agent's chat answer — easy to lose, hard to check — into a saved report. Point it at a repo, or any folder of docs, and:

It plans the work. Your question becomes a set of small tasks.
Your agent does the work. CW never runs a model itself — your own agent reads and thinks.
It writes a checked report. Every claim points to a real place in your code, like file.ts:42. A result with no evidence stops instead of passing through.

The model is fuel. CW is the black-box recorder, the dashboard, and the gearbox — never the engine.

It never calls a model API, never holds your keys, and never uploads your code.

Before you start

You need two things, and one more for real runs:

A terminal. On macOS: Terminal. On Linux: any. On Windows: install WSL (run wsl --install in PowerShell, then open "Ubuntu" from the Start menu) and type every command below in that Ubuntu window.
Node.js v22.13 or newer. Check with node -v. If it is missing or older, get it from nodejs.org (take the LTS one).
An AI coding agent, for real runs — for one, Claude Code or Codex (see Works with your agent). Not needed for the demo in step 1 of the Quick Start.

Install

npm install -g cool-workflow

cw version

cw version prints the version number when the install worked.

Install trouble?

What you see	What to do
`EACCES: permission denied`	Do not use `sudo`. Put Node in your home folder with nvm, then run the install again.
`cw: command not found`	Close the terminal and open a new one. If it is still not found, `npm prefix -g` gives the folder; its `bin` folder needs to be on your `PATH`.
`Unsupported engine` or a Node error	Your Node is older than v22.13: update it (`node -v` to check).

Or install with Homebrew

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

brew install coo1white/cool-workflow/cool-workflow cw version

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

You need: Node.js v22.13 or newer. No agent yet? Step 1 below still works — CW never runs a model itself.

Runs on: Linux, macOS and Windows through WSL. Native Windows is not yet supported: CI runs it to measure what still fails, and that work is going on.

🧪 beta: CW has a wrapper and an offline test for it, but no real login has passed cw doctor --conformance yet, and cw never picks it by itself: add its flag.

Log in to your agent once on its own (run it, for one claude, and follow its steps) before you use it with CW: CW uses your agent as it is set up, and never asks for your keys.

Not sure what you have? cw doctor checks your setup and cw fix prints the commands that put it right.

Quick Start

1 · See it work — 30 seconds, no agent needed

cw demo tamper

→ builds a real signed ledger, forges it three ways, catches all three offline

→ VERDICT: tamper-evidence holds ✓

2 · Ask a question about your code — one command

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

CW uses the current repo and the first agent it finds on your PATH. Want a specific agent? Add a flag from the table above, such as -claude.

A full review takes about 4 minutes on a real repo (14 workers; the Map and Assess stages run at the same time). One focused question? Add --fast: 6 workers in place of 14, the same cited answer for fewer agent calls.

3 · Open the report

The report opens in your browser by itself when the run ends. It starts with the answer, then the evidence behind it. Later, open it again with:

cw report --open

Want to see one first? A real run's Workbench and report, rebuilt on every push: [coo1white.github.io/cool-workflow](https://coo1white.github.io/cool-workflow/) (the report is at /report.html).

4 · Keep proof that your tests passed

An agent that says "all tests pass" has only said it. Run the tests through CW and keep a receipt:

cw check -- npm test

→ ✓ passed: npm test (exit 0 at 1a2b3c4) — receipt rc-…. Cite it as receipt:rc-…

CW runs your command (never a model) and saves what happened: the commit, the exit code, a digest of the output. A result that cites receipt:rc-… is checked again before it counts: a failed run, a missing receipt, or code that changed since the run is turned down, with the one command to fix it. cw check list shows your receipts.

These steps are the core path. Everything else is kept working, not grown.

Words you will see

Word	What it means
agent	The AI coding tool on your machine (Claude Code, Codex, …) that does the reading and thinking. CW gives it small tasks.
run	One question, from start to report. Each run has an id, and its files are kept in `.cw/runs/ /` in your project.
report	The answer, with the evidence for each claim (`file.ts:42`). Kept as `report.md`, and opened in your browser.
evidence	A pointer to a real line of code. A claim without it is not let through.
receipt	A record, from `cw check`, that a command (for one, your tests) truly ran and how it ended.
resume	Going on with a run that stopped: `cw --resume --run` .

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/trust-model.md).

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
No agent found	`cw doctor` — shows which agents are on your machine
`status: blocked`	Set `CW_AGENT_COMMAND=builtin:claude` or pass `-claude`
`claude: command not found`	Install Claude Code and run again
Where is my report?	`/.cw/runs/ /report.md`, or run `cw report --open`
`Missing required input: question`	Add `-q " "`
Run stopped before the end	Fix the cause, then `cw --resume --run` takes it to the end; a worker that stopped gets fresh tries (inside the project, or add `--repo` )
`... is not a git project`	Run it inside the project, or pass `--repo`
`Run was made for`	The run belongs to another folder (a copied or moved repo): pass `--repo` , or move it with `cw run export` and `cw run import`
