# Muse Code CLI for PHP

A small, resilient PHP SDK for controlling the Muse Code CLI. The package follows the CLI's native model:

```text
Muse → Session → Run → Events → Result
```

It uses one `muse exec --json` process per turn. Follow-up turns resume the session by ID; no persistent child process is required.

## Requirements

- PHP 8.2 or newer
- Muse Code installed and authenticated
- `muse` available on `PATH`, or an absolute binary path

```bash
composer require develate/musecode-cli-php
```

## Query a session

A session is described by one `SessionOptions` object, a run by one `RunOptions` object. Session options are re-sent on every start and resume, because `muse exec` keeps no flags across processes.

```php
use Develate\MusecodeCli\Muse;
use Develate\MusecodeCli\RunOptions;
use Develate\MusecodeCli\SessionOptions;
use Develate\MusecodeCli\Value\ApprovalMode;
use Develate\MusecodeCli\Value\Effort;

$muse = new Muse();

$session = $muse->session(new SessionOptions(
    cwd: '/var/www/app',
    model: 'metamate',
    effort: Effort::Low,
    approvalMode: ApprovalMode::OnRequest,
    workspace: '/var/www/app',
));

$run = $session->stream('What does this project do?');

foreach ($run as $item) {
    // TextDelta, RunTerminal and MspEvent items, as they arrive.
}

$result = $run->result();
echo $result->text;
```

## Resume a session

```php
$session = $muse->resume($sessionId, new SessionOptions(cwd: '/var/www/app'));
$result = $session->query('Continue where you left off.');
```

The id is required: resuming "whatever ran last" is a TUI affordance that on a
shared machine is not necessarily this caller's conversation.

## Read-only helper runs

Titles, commit messages and similar helper work must never write to the
project. A read-only profile guarantees that:

```php
$options = (new SessionOptions(cwd: '/var/www/app'))
    ->withApprovalMode(ApprovalMode::Never)
    ->with(disableWrite: true, disableShell: true);

$text = $muse->query('Summarise these changes in one line.', $options)->text;
```

## Authentication

`muse login` writes `auth.json` under the configuration home and `META_API_KEY`
takes priority over it. The SDK never executes anything to answer this:

```php
$muse->isAuthenticated(); // true when either one is present
$muse->authFilePath();    // where this client keeps its credentials
```

Pointing `HOME` (or `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`) at

    Helicon: desktop app for Muse Code★

    I pay for @Muse Code but didn't want to live in a terminal. On Windows it's WSL-only. So I built Helicon: an open-source desktop app for the actual Muse CLI. • uses your existing muse login, no API key • talks to muse serve over MSP, so Muse stays the agent • resumes

    Medical bills audited line by line, $4,000 saved★

    Got Muse logged in to my medical provider’s portal, he pulled the itemized bills, and questioned every line. So far he’s found several times I’d been double billed, asked for some discounts and has saved me over $4,000. If your moat is bureaucracy, you’re cooked.
