# BRIK64 CLI

> The BRIK64 CLI 0.1.0-beta.18.2 public command surface.

`brik64` is the official public command surface for BRIK64.

Use it to create local project metadata, inspect the installed beta surface, create local evidence for `.pcd` files, and emit candidate outputs under the current public beta scope.

## Current Public Beta

BRIK64 CLI `0.1.0-beta.18.2` is the current public beta surface. Use the installed CLI and the release notes page to identify the exact version currently installed.

See [Install the BRIK64 CLI](/cli/install) before using any package-manager command or direct artifact.

## Install And Verify

After installing a release that is explicitly listed on the install page, verify the command surface:

```bash theme={null}
brik64 help
brik64 version
brik64 --version
```

## Command Families

* Help and version: `brik64 help`, `brik64 version`, `brik64 --version`
* Project setup: `brik64 init`
* Local candidate evidence: `brik64 certify <file.pcd>`
* Local candidate output: `brik64 emit <file.pcd>`
* Target examples: `brik64 emit <file.pcd> --target ts|rust|python --out <dir> --tests`
* Diagnostics: `brik64 explain <file.pcd>`, `brik64 doctor`, `brik64 errors status`
* Local lockfile: `brik64 lock`
* Privacy controls: `brik64 telemetry status`, `brik64 telemetry explain`, `brik64 feedback --dry-run`

Generation, polymerization, update, engine, and skill-management command families are part of the public beta surface only when the installed CLI help lists them.

Local CLI artifacts support inspection and review under their stated scope. Stronger platform claims require the corresponding release evidence.
