Build & Project Commands

Reference for Elide's project and build commands.

`elide build`

Runs the project build. Elide derives a task graph from elide.pkl and executes it. See Build Tasks for the task model, targets, and caching.

`elide install`

Resolves and installs dependencies across npm, PyPI, and Maven from your manifest (and any foreign manifests present). See Dependencies.

`elide classpath`

Resolves and prints a classpath from the project's JVM dependencies. A target selects which usage to resolve, given as usage or — scoped to a source-set root — root:usage.

bash

 elide classpath

`elide manifest`

Resolves and validates the project manifest and prints it as JSON. With --quiet, it acts as a validator: it prints nothing and exits non-zero if the manifest fails to parse or validate.

bash

 elide manifest            # print the resolved manifest as JSON
 elide manifest --quiet    # validate only (non-zero exit on failure)

`elide project`

Prints project information. The advice subcommand emits guidance intended for coding agents:

bash

 elide project
 elide project advice

elide project advice appends the first of .dev/AGENT.md, .dev/CLAUDE.md, or CLAUDE.md found in the project, if present.
