@layers/cli

npm install -g @layers/cli fetches the layers binary for your platform (macOS, Linux, and Windows, x64 and arm64) and verifies its SHA256 against the release's checksums.txt before installing it.

Run layers setup in a repo to bind it to the Layers MCP, or layers --help for everything else.

Release

CI publishes this package. The npm-publish job in .github/workflows/release-cli.yaml runs on a cli/v* tag and authenticates to npm with OIDC through npm trusted publishing. There is no npm token.

One-time setup on npmjs.com, required once per package before the first CI publish:

• Open the @layers/cli package page and go to Settings.
• Open Trusted publishers and choose GitHub Actions.
• Set the organization or user to layers, the repository to layers, the workflow filename to release-cli.yaml, and the environment to npm-publish.
• Save.

Until npm holds that record, the publish step fails with E404 or E403.
