 Command-line interface for the XO Engine. Create wallets, manage templates, build invitations, sign transactions, and broadcast them to the Bitcoin Cash network.
 
-## Getting Started
+There are two global commands after install:
+
+- **`xo-cli`** — non-interactive commands (this document).
+- **`xo-tui`** — interactive terminal wallet UI (Ink/React).
+
+## Global config directory
+
+Wallet state lives under **`~/.config/xo-cli/`** (XDG-style), so you can run commands from any directory:
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `~/.config/xo-cli/mnemonics/` | Mnemonic files (`mnemonic-*`) |
+| `~/.config/xo-cli/data/` | Engine DB (`xo-wallet.db`) and invitation storage (`xo-invitations.db`) |
+| `~/.config/xo-cli/.wallet` | Last-used mnemonic reference (so `-m` can be omitted) |
+
+**Local to your shell’s current directory:** template JSON paths, invitation JSON you create/import, and any path you pass explicitly (e.g. `-m /abs/path/to/file`).
+
+## Install (global, from this repo)
+
+`@xo-cash/*` dependencies use `file:` paths, so publish to npm is a separate step. For local development:
 
 ```bash
-# Run any command via tsx from the cli/ directory
-npx tsx src/cli/index.ts <command> [options]
+cd engine/cli
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm link
+# xo-cli and xo-tui are now on your PATH
 ```
 
+Development without linking:
+
+```bash
+cd engine/cli
+npx tsx src/cli/index.ts <command> [options]
+npx tsx src/index.ts   # TUI
+```
+
+### Environment variables (TUI / `xo-tui`)
+
+| Variable | Default |
+|----------|---------|
+| `SYNC_SERVER_URL` | `http://localhost:3000` |
+| `DB_PATH` | `~/.config/xo-cli/data` |
+| `DB_FILENAME` | `xo-wallet.db` |
+| `INVITATION_STORAGE_PATH` | `~/.config/xo-cli/data/xo-invitations.db` |
+
+## Getting Started
+
 ### Wallet Setup
 
-Before using most commands you need a mnemonic wallet file.
-
 ```bash
-# Generate a new mnemonic and save it to a file
+# Generate a new mnemonic (saved under ~/.config/xo-cli/mnemonics/)
 xo-cli mnemonic create
 
 # Import an existing mnemonic seed phrase
 xo-cli mnemonic import page pencil stock planet limb cluster assault speak off joke private pioneer
 
-# List available mnemonic files in the current directory
+# List mnemonic basenames (use with -m)
 xo-cli mnemonic list
 ```
 
-Mnemonic files are stored in the working directory with the prefix `mnemonic-`.
+**Options:** `-o <filename>` — basename only; file is written under the global mnemonics directory.
 
 ### Wallet Persistence
 
-The first time you pass `-m <file>`, the choice is saved to `.xo-cli-wallet`. Subsequent commands will use that wallet automatically so you can omit `-m`.
+The first time you pass `-m <name>`, that reference is saved to `~/.config/xo-cli/.wallet`. Later runs can omit `-m`.
+
+Mnemonic resolution order:
+
+1. Absolute path, if the file exists  
+2. Path relative to the current working directory  
+3. `~/.config/xo-cli/mnemonics/<basename>`
 
 ```bash
-# First run — pass the wallet explicitly
 xo-cli resource list -m mnemonic-nuclear
-
-# All future runs remember the wallet
 xo-cli resource list
 ```
 
-To switch wallets, pass `-m` again with a different file.
-
-## Global Options
+## Global Options (`xo-cli`)
 
 | Flag | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `-m`, `--mnemonic-file <file>` | Mnemonic file to use (persisted after first use) |
-| `-v`, `--verbose` | Show detailed debug output |
-| `-h`, `--help` | Show help message |
+|------|-------------|
+| `-m`, `--mnemonic-file <file>` | Mnemonic file (basename, cwd-relative, or absolute) |
+| `-v`, `--verbose` | Verbose output |
+| `-h`, `--help` | Help |
+
+Advanced: you can pass `--database-path`, `--database-filename`, and `--invitation-storage-path` to override the defaults under `~/.config/xo-cli/data/` (see `src/cli/index.ts`).
 
 ## Commands
 
 ### `mnemonic` — Manage Wallet Files
 
 ```bash
-xo-cli mnemonic create                   # Generate a new mnemonic
-xo-cli mnemonic import <seed words...>   # Import a mnemonic from seed words
-xo-cli mnemonic list                     # List mnemonic files in cwd
+xo-cli mnemonic create
+xo-cli mnemonic import <seed words...>
+xo-cli mnemonic list
 ```
 
-**Options:**
-- `-o <filename>` — Custom output filename for the mnemonic file.
-
 ### `template` — Manage Templates
 
 ```bash
-xo-cli template import <template-file>                          # Import a template
-xo-cli template list                                            # List imported templates
-xo-cli template list <category> <template-id>                   # List items in a category
-xo-cli template inspect <category> <template-id> <field>        # Inspect a specific field
-xo-cli template set-default <template-file> <output-id> <role>  # Set default locking params
+xo-cli template import <template-file>
+xo-cli template list
+xo-cli template list <category> <template-id>
+xo-cli template inspect <category> <template-id> <field>
+xo-cli template set-default <template-file> <output-id> <role>
 ```
 
 **Categories:** `action`, `transaction`, `output`, `lockingscript`, `variable`
 
-**Example — discover what a template offers:**
-
-```bash
-xo-cli template import p2pkh-template.json
-xo-cli template list
-xo-cli template list action <template-identifier>
-```
+Template paths are resolved relative to the **current working directory**.
 
 ### `resource` — Manage UTXOs
 
 ```bash
-xo-cli resource list               # List unreserved (spendable) UTXOs
-xo-cli resource list reserved      # List UTXOs reserved by invitations
-xo-cli resource list all           # List all UTXOs (reserved + unreserved)
-xo-cli resource unreserve <txhash:vout>   # Unreserve a specific UTXO
-xo-cli resource unreserve-all             # Unreserve all reserved UTXOs
+xo-cli resource list
+xo-cli resource list reserved
+xo-cli resource list all
+xo-cli resource unreserve <txhash:vout>
+xo-cli resource unreserve-all
 ```
 
-Each UTXO is displayed as `<txhash>:<vout> <sats> <outputId> (height <n>)`.
-
 ### `receive` — Generate a Receiving Address
 
 ```bash
 xo-cli receive <template-file> <output-identifier> [role-identifier]
 ```
 
-Generates a single-use BCH cash address from a template. If the role is omitted, the first available role is used.
-
-```bash
-xo-cli receive p2pkh-template.json receiveOutput receiver
-```
-
-### `invitation` — Build, Sign & Broadcast Transactions
-
-This is the core command for sending funds. An invitation goes through these stages: **create** → **sign** → **broadcast**.
+### `invitation` — Build, Sign & Broadcast
 
 ```bash

-#### Create / Append Options
+**Create / append options:**
 
 | Flag | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `-var-<name> <value>` | Set a template variable (kebab-case → camelCase) |
-| `--add-input <txhash:vout>` | Add UTXO input(s), comma-separated |
-| `--add-output <id>` | Override output(s) — **omit to auto-discover from template** |
-| `--auto-inputs` | Automatically select UTXOs to cover the required amount |
-| `-role <role>` | Role identifier for variable scoping and bytecode generation |
-| `--sign` | Auto-sign after all requirements are satisfied |
-| `--broadcast` | Auto-broadcast after signing (implies `--sign`) |
+|------|-------------|
+| `-var-<name> <value>` | Template variable |
+| `--add-input <txhash:vout>` | Inputs (comma-separated) |
+| `--add-output <id>` | Override outputs (omit to auto-discover) |
+| `--auto-inputs` | Auto-select UTXOs |
+| `-role <role>` | Role for variables / bytecode |
+| `--sign` | Auto-sign when complete |
+| `--broadcast` | Auto-broadcast (implies `--sign`) |
 
-When inputs are provided, a **change output is automatically added** if the input total exceeds the required amount + fee (500 sats). Change below the dust threshold (546 sats) is donated as fee.
+Invitation JSON files from `create` / `append` are written to the **current working directory**.
 
-Outputs are **auto-discovered from the template** when `--add-output` is omitted, so you typically don't need to specify them.
-
-#### Variable Naming
-
-Variable flags use kebab-case which maps to the template's camelCase identifiers:
-
-```
--var-transferred-satoshis 4678  →  transferredSatoshis = "4678"
--var-recipient-lockingscript <addr>  →  recipientLockingscript = "<addr>"
-```
-
-## Full Send Flow
-
-### One-Command Send (Recommended)
-
-With `--broadcast`, the entire create → sign → broadcast flow happens in a single invocation:
+### One-command send
 
 ```bash
-# 1. List UTXOs to pick an input

-# 2. Send in one shot

-  -role sender
-
-# 4. Sign
-xo-cli invitation sign <invitation-id>
-
-# 5. Broadcast
-xo-cli invitation broadcast <invitation-id>
+xo-tui
 ```
 
-### Using Auto-Inputs
-
-Instead of manually selecting UTXOs, let the CLI pick them:
-
-```bash
-xo-cli invitation create p2pkh-template.json sendSatoshis \
-  -var-transferred-satoshis 4678 \
-  -var-recipient-lockingscript "bitcoincash:qz..." \
-  --auto-inputs \
-  -role sender \
-  --broadcast
-```

 ## Shell Completions
 
-Tab-completion is available for bash, zsh, and fish:
-
 ```bash
-# Bash
 eval "$(xo-cli completions bash)"
-
-# Zsh
 eval "$(xo-cli completions zsh)"
-
-# Fish
 xo-cli completions fish | source
 ```
 
 ## File Conventions
 
-| File/Pattern | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `mnemonic-*` | Wallet mnemonic files |
-| `.xo-cli-wallet` | Persisted wallet selection |
-| `*.json` | Invitation files (saved by create/append) |
-| `*.db` | Engine database files |
+| Location | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `~/.config/xo-cli/` | Global wallet state |
+| `./` (cwd) | Templates, invitation JSON, explicit paths |
