magus-run

Run a target for selected projects

Synopsis

magus run <target> [flags] [project...]

Description

Run a named target for the selected projects. With no project arguments, selects the project containing the current directory, or all projects if the current directory is not inside a project. Explicit project paths on the command line select exactly those projects.

The target ci is an ordinary magusfile-defined target - magus does not hardcode its steps; your magusfile composes them with magus.needs. magus keeps ci as the anchor that the affected set keys off, and always runs it read-only; apply the rw charm (e.g. 'magus run format:rw') to mutate files.

Options

--depth int
With --graph: cap displayed depth (0 = unlimited)
--dry-run
Print what would run without executing
--graph
Render the dependency graph for the selected scope instead of executing
--no-cache
Force a fresh run even on a cache hit; still refreshes the entry
--upstream
With --graph: show dependents instead of dependencies

Targets

ls
Print selected projects without executing anything
build
Build selected projects
test
Test selected projects
lint
Lint selected projects (read-only)
format
Format source files in selected projects
clean
Remove build artifacts from selected projects
generate
Run code generation for selected projects
ci
Run the magusfile's ci target read-only (affected-set anchor)

Examples

Build everything

magus run build

Test one project

magus run test api/gateway

Build two specific projects

magus run build api/gateway web/studio

Dry-run: show what would run

magus run build --dry-run

Force a fresh rebuild past a cache hit

magus run build --no-cache

Full CI pipeline

magus run ci

Show dependency graph for build target

Graph in Mermaid format

magus run build --graph -o mermaid

Graph dependents of api/gateway

magus run build api/gateway --graph --upstream

Stream JSONL target events to a file

Glossary

Project

A directory magus recognizes as a unit of work (it has a magusfile); the unit of caching, scheduling, and dependency tracking. See workspace.

Magusfile

The magusfile.buzz that declares a project's targets (as export funs) and binds its spells. See targets.

Target

A named operation (build, test, ...) you invoke with magus run <target>; it may compose a spell's tool-native operations and depend on other targets. See targets.

Charm

An execution modifier attached with : (lint:rw) that changes how a target runs, not which one; the built-in rw flips a check-only target to mutate in place, and ci always strips it. See charms.

Cache

The content-addressed store magus consults before running a target, so unchanged work is skipped. See cache.

Affected

The set of projects touched by a change; magus affected <target> runs a target only over them. See affected.

CI

An ordinary magusfile-defined target you compose yourself with magus\needs - magus does not hardcode its stages. Magus.RunCI treats it specially only in that it strips the rw charm, it is the anchor magus affected ci keys off, and a selected scope with no project declaring it is a load error rather than a silent no-op. See targets.

MAGUS.md

The committed routing index at a workspace root, regenerated from the knowledge graph: it lists every node and points at the exact query for a given question, so it is the entry point an agent reads first. See knowledge.

Insight

The reports magus derives over the graph and history (hotspots, affinity, ownership, trend). See insight.
