@closedsi/closiro

Closiro (formerly Snailer): an AI coding agent for your terminal

This package installs the Closiro CLI. It downloads the native binary for your platform from GitHub Releases, checks it against the release checksums, and puts it on your PATH.

Install

npm install -g @closedsi/closiro

Or run it without installing:

npx @closedsi/closiro@latest --help

The package installs the closiro command. It does not install a snailer command, so it never collides with an older Snailer install.

Moving from @snailer-team/snailer? Uninstall it and use closiro from now on: npm uninstall -g @snailer-team/snailer && npm install -g @closedsi/closiro

Setup

Set an API key for the model provider you use:

export CLAUDE_API_KEY="your-api-key"   # Claude (recommended)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"   # OpenAI
export XAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"      # xAI

Usage

closiro                                   # interactive mode
closiro --prompt "Add error handling to the API module"   # one-shot
closiro --help

Supported platforms

Linux arm64 has no prebuilt binary yet; the install stops with a message listing the supported platforms.

Offline or restricted networks

Skip the download during install:

CLOSIRO_SKIP_POSTINSTALL=1 npm install -g @closedsi/closiro

Then download the archive for your platform from Releases, and extract the closiro binary (snailer for releases before v2.38.0) into the package's bin/ directory ($(npm root -g)/@closedsi/closiro/bin/).

CLOSIRO_REPO=owner/name downloads from a fork or mirror instead. The older SNAILER_* variable names still work.

Troubleshooting

• Download fails: the error shows the exact URL. Download it manually as described above.
• closiro: command not found: make sure npm's global bin directory is on your PATH (npm prefix -g).
• Checksum mismatch: the download was corrupted or altered. Run the install again; if it keeps failing, open an issue.

License

The installer in this package is MIT licensed. The Closiro binary is covered by its own End User License Agreement, included in this package as EULA.md. By installing, you agree to both.
