eru

eru is a CLI tool for sharing knowledge files between projects. Declare where your shared files live (a git repo), pull them in with a single command, and track everything in a lock file so they stay in sync.

  • Manifests — knowledge-source repos publish .eru/manifest.json to declare available files; consumers pull from it automatically
  • Collections — group related files into a named set and pull them all with one command
  • Tag-based pulls--tag devops fetches everything tagged devops across all collections
  • Glob patterns — collection entries can use globs to pull multiple files in one reference (e.g. docs/*.md)
  • Lock file (.eru/eru.lock) records every pulled file: its origin, path, and content hash
  • Dry-run mode on every write command
  • Global config (~/.config/eru/config.json) for sources and collections shared across all your repos

Requirements

Install

Install the Eru.Tool tool:

dotnet tool install --global Eru.Tool

Leave off --global to install locally in a repo instead.

Install the skill with skills.sh:

npx skills add dburriss/eru

The skill tells agents how to use the CLI.

Quick start

1. Initialise your repo

eru init

Creates .eru/config.json in the current directory.

2. Pull a file

Paste a GitHub or GitLab file URL directly:

eru add https://github.com/my-org/knowledge/blob/main/docs/adr-template.md

eru registers the source automatically, downloads the file, and records it in .eru/eru.lock.

Or pull by source name and path once a source is configured:

eru add knowledge:docs/adr-template.md

Or pull an entire curated collection:

eru add --collection onboarding-docs

3. Keep files up to date

eru sync

Fetches every file in .eru/eru.lock, compares content hashes, and overwrites anything that has drifted.

eru add --tag <tag> Pull all files matching a tag
eru add --dryrun <path> Preview what would be pulled
eru search <terms> Search sources and the lock file
eru sync Re-fetch all tracked files and update drifted ones
eru sync --dryrun Preview what sync would change

eru source list List configured knowledge sources
eru source view <name> Show details and files for a source
eru collection create <name> Create a new collection
eru collection add <name> -f <source:path> Add a file reference to a collection

MCP resources now declare `text/plain` MIME type — previously the SDK defaulted to `application/octet-stream`, causing many MCP clients and inspectors to not display the `eru://sources`, `eru://sources/{name}`, and `eru://installed` resources
