run
Run MTHDS methods
Execute MTHDS method bundles and interpret their JSON output.
Process
Prerequisite: See CLI Prerequisites
Step 1: Identify the Target
| Target | Command |
|---|---|
| Pipeline directory (recommended) | mthds-agent pipelex run pipe <bundle-dir>/ |
| Specific pipe in a directory | mthds-agent pipelex run pipe <bundle-dir>/ --pipe my_pipe |
| Bundle file directly | mthds-agent pipelex run pipe bundle.mthds -L <bundle-dir>/ |
| Pipe by code from library | mthds-agent pipelex run pipe my_pipe |
Directory mode (recommended): Pass the pipeline directory as target. The CLI auto-detects
bundle.mthds,inputs.json, and sets-Lautomatically — no need to specify them explicitly. This also avoids namespace collisions with other bundles.

mthds-edit
Edit existing MTHDS bundles (.mthds files). Use when user says "change this pipe", "update the prompt", "rename this concept", "add a step", "remove this pipe", "modify the workflow", "modify the method", "refactor this pipeline", or wants any modification to an existing .mthds file. Supports automatic mode for clear changes and interactive mode for complex modifications.
25mthds-build
Build new AI method from scratch using the MTHDS standard (.mthds bundle files). Use when user says "create a pipeline", "build a workflow", "new .mthds file", "make a method", "design a pipe", or wants to create any new method from scratch. Guides the user through a 10-phase construction process.
25mthds-explain
Explain and document MTHDS bundles. Use when user says "what does this pipeline do?", "explain this workflow", "explain this method", "walk me through this .mthds file", "describe the flow", "document this pipeline", "how does this work?", or wants to understand an existing MTHDS method bundle.
25mthds-inputs
Prepare inputs for MTHDS methods. Use when user says "prepare inputs", "create inputs", "use my files", "generate test data", "template", "synthesize inputs", "mock inputs", "I have a PDF/image/document to use", "make sample data", or wants to create inputs.json for running a .mthds pipeline. Handles user-provided files, synthetic data generation, placeholder templates, and mixed approaches. Defaults to automatic mode.
24mthds-pkg
Manage MTHDS packages — initialize, configure exports, list, and validate. Use when user says "init package", "set up METHODS.toml", "manage packages", "mthds init", "validate package", "list package", or wants to manage MTHDS package manifests.
24mthds-fix
Fix issues in MTHDS bundles. Use when user says "fix this workflow", "fix this method", "repair validation errors", "the pipeline is broken", "fix the .mthds file", after /mthds-check found issues, or when validation reports errors. Automatically applies fixes and re-validates in a loop.
