### 2. **Policy Management** - `remux policy`

```bash

```

Options include:
- `--config FILE` - Custom policy configuration
- `--template TEMPLATE` - Policy template (read_only|write_capable|restrictive)
- `--output FILE` - Output path for new policy

### 3. **Client Operations** - `remux client`

```bash
remux client run HOST CMD   # Execute command on remote host
remux client batch HOST     # Execute multiple commands
```

- `--policy NAME` - Which policy to apply
- `--timeout SECONDS` - Timeout for execution
- `--cwd PATH` - Working directory on remote
- `--commands-file FILE` - File with commands for batch

### 4. **Configuration** - `remux config`

```bash
remux config show          # Show current configuration
remux config init          # Initialize configuration
```

Options include:
- `--force` - Overwrite existing configuration

### 5. **Status & Monitoring** - `remux status`

```bash
remux status info          # System information
remux status health        # Health check
```

Options include:
- `--socket PATH` - Daemon socket path

## Usage Patterns with Claude Code

### Pattern 1: Get Expert Analysis
```bash
remux policy list | claude-code --task "explain each policy"
remux daemon logs --level ERROR | claude-code --task "diagnose errors"
```

### Pattern 2: Get Configuration Help
```bash
remux config show | claude-code --task "is this secure for production?"
```

### Pattern 3: Policy Design
```bash
remux policy show read_only | claude-code --task "create a custom policy based on this"
```

### Pattern 4: Troubleshooting
```bash
remux daemon status | claude-code --task "daemon not running, help me debug"
remux status health | claude-code --task "diagnose this health check failure"
```

### Pattern 5: Batch Operations
```bash
claude-code . --task "create a commands file for monitoring my servers"
remux client batch web1.example.com --commands-file commands.txt
```

## Example Workflows

### Setup for Production
```bash
# 1. Initialize
remux config init

# 2. Create policies
remux policy create production --template read_only

# 3. Validate
remux policy validate policies.yaml

# 4. Ask Claude for best practices
remux config show | claude-code --task "production security checklist?"

# 5. Start daemon
remux daemon start --known-hosts ~/.ssh/known_hosts --audit-log-dir /var/log/remux

# 6. Verify
remux daemon status && remux status health
```

### Troubleshooting Issues
```bash
# Check status
remux daemon status

# Run health check with Claude's help
remux status health | claude-code --task "what's wrong?"

# View and analyze logs
remux daemon logs --level ERROR | claude-code --task "diagnose"

# Fix based on Claude's guidance
```

### Daily Operations
```bash
# Check daemon
remux daemon status

# List available policies
remux policy list

# Execute command with policy
remux client run web1.example.com cat /var/log/syslog --policy read_only

# Monitor audit logs
remux daemon logs --follow
```

## Key Features

✅ **Full CLI with Help** - Every command and option has descriptive help text
✅ **State Management** - Start/stop/check status of daemon and operations
✅ **Policy Configuration** - Create, validate, and manage security policies
✅ **Audit Logging** - View and filter execution logs
✅ **Claude Code Integration** - Pipe output to Claude Code for analysis
✅ **Environment Variables** - RPIPE_SOCKET, RPIPE_KNOWN_HOSTS, etc.
✅ **Multiple Output Formats** - Human-readable status indicators (✓ ✗)
✅ **Configuration Management** - Initialize and configure remux

## Integration with Claude Code

The CLI is specifically designed to work seamlessly with Claude Code:

1. **Clear Output** - Status and results are machine-readable
2. **Helpful Messages** - Each command provides context
3. **Error Explanations** - Errors include suggestions
4. **Progress Indicators** - Visual feedback (✓/✗)
5. **Piping Support** - Output can be piped to Claude Code

```bash
# Example: pipe command output to Claude Code
remux [command] | claude-code --task "your question here"
```

## Entry Points

Three ways to run:

```bash
# 1. As installed binary
remux daemon start

# 2. As Python module
python -m rpipe daemon start

# 3. Direct Python
python rpipe/cli.py daemon start
```

## Exit Codes

- `0` - Success
- `1` - Error/command failed
- `2` - Invalid arguments

## Help System

Every command has detailed help:

```bash
remux --help                 # Main help
remux daemon --help          # Daemon subcommand help
remux daemon start --help    # Specific command help
remux -h                     # Short help
```

## Environment Variables

- `RPIPE_SOCKET` - Default daemon socket
- `RPIPE_KNOWN_HOSTS` - SSH known_hosts file
- `RPIPE_AUDIT_LOG_DIR` - Audit log directory
- `RPIPE_POLICY_CONFIG` - Policy configuration file

## Next Steps

1. **Install**: `pip install -e .`
2. **Initialize**: `remux config init`
3. **Read CLI Reference**: See `CLI_REFERENCE.md`
4. **Learn Claude Code Integration**: See `USING_WITH_CLAUDE_CODE.md`
5. **Start Using**: `remux daemon start && remux daemon status`
