The 10xgraph command ships with the 10xgraph-api package. It has twelve subcommands: init, api, play, dev, build, eval, test, skills, audit, config, demo and version. Global options go before the subcommand, and -h or --help works everywhere.

Global options

Placed before the subcommand, for example 10xgraph --no-color build.

Option Default Purpose
--format human Output format: human, plain, json or jsonl
--json off Shorthand for --format json
--color auto Color policy: auto, always or never
--no-color off Shorthand for --color never
--progress auto Progress mode: auto, tty, plain, json or quiet
--animation / --no-animation unset Enable or disable decorative animation
--fullscreen / --no-fullscreen on for an interactive terminal Run on a full-screen surface. AGENTFLOW_NO_FULLSCREEN=1 also disables it
--cwd current directory Run as if started in this directory (must exist)
--verbose, -v 0 Increase diagnostics, repeatable
--quiet, -q off Suppress informational and success output
--debug off Enable debug diagnostics
--yes, -y off Accept recommended defaults
--non-interactive off Never prompt
--version, -V Print the CLI version and exit

--json cannot be combined with a different --format, and --no-color cannot be combined with a different --color.

init

Scaffold a new agent project.

Terminal
10xgraph init [--path DIR] [--template quick-start|production] [options]
Option Default Purpose
--path, -p . Directory to initialize
--force, -f off Overwrite existing files
--name inferred Agent name, required only when it cannot be inferred
--template quick-start quick-start or production
--auth prompt Production only: none, jwt or custom
--rate-limit prompt Production only: none, memory or redis
--yes, -y off Accept recommended defaults
--non-interactive off Fail instead of prompting
--dry-run off Preview without writing files

--auth and --rate-limit require --template production.

api

Start the development API server (Uvicorn).

Terminal
10xgraph api [--config FILE] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]
Option Default Purpose
--config, -c 10xgraph.json Config file
--host, -H 127.0.0.1 Bind address. Use 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces
--port, -p 8000 Port
--reload / --no-reload on Auto-reload on file changes
--verbose, -v off Verbose logging
--quiet, -q off Errors only

play

Start the same server and open the hosted playground. Takes the same options as api.

Terminal
10xgraph play [--config FILE] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--reload | --no-reload]

dev

Local development server. Like play, with the playground opening controlled by a flag.

Terminal
10xgraph dev [--config FILE] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--open | --no-open]
Option Default Purpose
--config, -c 10xgraph.json Config file
--host, -H 127.0.0.1 Bind address
--port, -p 8000 Port
--reload / --no-reload on Reload on file changes
--open / --no-open on Open the hosted playground when the API is ready
--verbose, -v / --quiet, -q off Logging level

build

Generate deployment files. See Deploy with Docker and Kubernetes.

Terminal
10xgraph build [--docker-compose] [--k8s] [options]
Option Default Purpose
--output, -o Dockerfile Dockerfile path
--force, -f off Overwrite existing files
--python-version 3.13 Python version of the base image
--port, -p 8000 Port to expose
--docker-compose / --no-docker-compose off Also write docker-compose.yml, omit CMD from the Dockerfile
--k8s / --no-k8s off Also write k8s.yaml
--service-name agentflow-cli Service name in generated files
--verbose, -v / --quiet, -q off Logging level

eval

Run agent evaluations. Discovers *_eval.py and eval_*.py files in the target directory (default evals/) and runs their cases.

Terminal
10xgraph eval [TARGET] [--threshold 0.8] [--parallel]
Option Default Purpose
TARGET evals/ File or directory to evaluate
--output, -o eval_reports Report directory
--no-report off Console summary only
--threshold, -t unset Fail if the overall pass rate is below this value (0.0 to 1.0)
--open off Open the HTML report afterwards
--parallel, -p off Run all cases from all files concurrently
--max-concurrency, -c 4 Concurrent cases when --parallel is set
--verbose, -v / --quiet, -q off Output level

Reports are HTML and JSON unless --no-report is set. When an option is left at its default, the evaluation block of 10xgraph.json can supply directory, output_dir, threshold, parallel and max_concurrency.

test

Run the project tests with pytest.

Terminal
10xgraph test [PATH] [--coverage] [-k EXPR] [-- PYTEST_ARGS]
Option Default Purpose
PATH pytest discovery Test file or directory
--coverage, -C off Run with coverage (--cov=., terminal and HTML reports)
--html off Open the HTML coverage report (needs --coverage)
-k unset Only run tests matching this expression
--verbose, -v / --quiet, -q off Output level

Extra arguments are forwarded to pytest. The test block of 10xgraph.json can set path, coverage and coverage_threshold. An explicit PATH wins over the config.

skills

Install the bundled coding-agent skill, or validate skills.

Terminal
10xgraph skills [--agent codex|claude|github] [--all] [--list]
Option Default Purpose
--agent, -a prompt Target: codex, claude, github, or menu number 1, 2, 3
--all off Install for every supported agent
--list, -l off List supported agents and exit
--path, -p . Project directory to install into
--force, -f off Overwrite an existing installed skill
--validate unset Validate a skill directory or folder of them against the Agent Skills spec. Repeatable
--verbose, -v / --quiet, -q off Logging level

Install locations: .agents/skills/agentflow (Codex), .claude/skills/agentflow (Claude), and .github/skills/agentflow plus .github/instructions/agentflow.instructions.md (GitHub).

audit

Read-only environment check: Python version, installed packages, core evaluation API, 10xgraph.json validity and whether the default port is free. Exits 1 if any check fails, so it works as a CI gate.

Terminal
10xgraph audit [--config FILE]
Option Default Purpose
--config, -c 10xgraph.json Config file to validate
--verbose, -v / --quiet, -q off Logging level

config

Edit and validate 10xgraph.json in a browser UI. The file is created on first save.

Terminal
10xgraph config [--config FILE] [--port PORT] [--no-open]
Option Default Purpose
--config, -c 10xgraph.json File to edit
--port, -p 0 (any free port) Editor port
--open / --no-open on Open the default browser

demo

Preview terminal animations without touching the project.

Terminal
10xgraph demo [--style all|typing|network|init|build|eval]
Option Default Purpose
--style all Animation theme

version

Print the CLI and core framework versions.

Terminal
10xgraph version

Accepts --verbose and --quiet.

Exit codes

Commands exit 0 on success and non-zero on failure. Ctrl+C exits 130. 10xgraph test returns the pytest exit code.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between api, play and dev?
All three start the same Uvicorn development server. play also opens the hosted playground, dev opens it by default but accepts --no-open, and api never opens it. None of them is meant for production, so use build and Gunicorn there.
