login

asymmetric login
Local mode needs no login. Running asymmetric login today just confirms that and points you at quickstart — it does not error. There are no accounts, no credentials, and no setup for local use; the whole CLI works out of the box.

Options

OptionDescription
--control-plane <url>Control-plane base URL (connected/cloud mode).

Local vs connected mode

  • Local mode (the default and the whole product today): controlPlaneUrl is null. Clones live only in ~/.asymmetric/registry.json on your machine. No login required.
  • Connected/cloud mode (planned): --control-plane <url> will connect the CLI to a control-plane API through a CloudProvider — accounts, cloud clones, and cross-machine sync. Until that ships, this prints a “not available yet” note.
asymmetric doctor reports which mode you’re in.

verify

asymmetric verify <template>      # add --json for a structured result
Inspects a template’s live API surface and shows any cached fidelity score. The CLI does the deterministic half: it reads a running clone’s OpenAPI (GET /api/docs-json), counts operations and paths, and prints the cached fidelity if one exists.
  live surface: 47 operations across 22 paths (clone slack-a1b2)
  cached fidelity: none

  For a full parity check against slack's live docs, run:  /verify-api slack

Arguments

ArgumentRequiredDescription
<template>yesTemplate name, e.g. slack.

The full parity check lives in /verify-api

Comparing the clone’s surface against the real product’s live documentation is an LLM + web task — it fetches the product’s official docs on every run and diffs them against the clone. That lives in the /verify-api skill, not the CLI, which verify points you to. When a score is produced it’s cached as a FidelityScore (0–1 coverage, operation counts, checkedAt, source) under ~/.asymmetric/fidelity/<template>.json, and verify will surface it. The CLI never hard-gates on a live fetch.
