CLI Reference

Lauf provides a small set of commands for managing and running TypeScript scripts across your monorepo.

Usage

lauf <command> [options]

Commands

Command	Description
init	Initialize lauf in the current package
list	List all available scripts
run [script]	Run a script
info [script]	Show info for a script
create [name]	Create a new script

Global Flags

Flag	Description
--help, -h	Show help
--version, -v	Show version number

How Arguments Work

When running scripts, arguments are passed as CLI flags after the script name:

lauf run @my-org/api/generate-types --outDir=./src --verbose=true

Values are automatically coerced:

• "true" / "false" become booleans
• Numeric strings (e.g., "42", "3.14") become numbers
• Everything else stays a string

Arguments are validated against the script's Zod schema at runtime. If validation fails, you get a clear error message describing what went wrong.

Flag Formats

--key=value       # explicit assignment
--key value       # space-separated
--flag            # boolean true (no value)

Positional arguments (values without --) are not supported and will trigger a warning.
