CLI Overview

The VidJutsu CLI runs the clone workflow and the calls around it from your terminal or an agent workspace. Standalone CLI 0.6.0 and the CLI bundled with SDK 1.4.0 target the current API contract.

Install

See installation for details and manual install options.

Clone a video

Create a reusable character once, then clone any video onto it.

# Create a character once. This prints a char_... id.
vidjutsu clone character --prompt "A friendly host in their late 20s, casual streetwear"

# Clone a TikTok video onto that character.
vidjutsu clone run "https://www.tiktok.com/@creator/video/123456789" \
  --character char_2a91b7f4

See vidjutsu clone for every subcommand and flag.
