CLI reference

Every krites command. Run krites <command> --help for the authoritative, always-current flag set; the pages below add context, config, and examples.

Command Description
ingest Register a folder of frames as a shoot workspace
cull Judge a shoot — analyse frames and assign keep/maybe/reject verdicts
dedup Report the near-duplicate burst clusters in a culled shoot
verdict Override a frame's verdict (keep, maybe or reject)
straighten Detect and propose a level correction for keeper frames
crop Propose a composition crop for keeper frames
develop Apply a look to keeper frames
remove Remove an object from a frame by inpainting a masked region
review Get an AI critique of selected frames (learning-first; never affects the cull)
export Render the chosen verdict set into the shoot's export/ directory
xmp · xmp write Write or read Lightroom XMP sidecars
studio Start the local studio web UI
reset Reset a frame to its post-ingest state

Some commands are gated off the MCP tool surface: those that produce pixels (export, remove, xmp write) or egress images (review) — an agent must not trigger them, so they are CLI/studio-only (0002 R-MCP-2).

Configuration for the optional providers lives in the configuration reference.
