Build a Mixtape

A mixtape starts as a project folder. You can build it interactively with the terminal UI or directly with CLI commands.

Interactive Flow

Section titled “Interactive Flow”
$npx linersh

The terminal UI helps you create a mixtape, add sources, edit metadata, draft or inspect methodology artifacts, compile, and share the final folder.

The default workspace is a mixtapes/ folder in your current directory. Set LINER_DIR to use another location:

$LINER_DIR=~/mixtapes liner

CLI Flow

Section titled “CLI Flow”
$mkdir my-projectscd my-projectsliner init mobile-design-foundations

Edit mobile-design-foundations/tape.yaml with sources and metadata, then write mobile-design-foundations/synthesis.md.

Compile when the synthesis is ready:

$liner compile mobile-design-foundations

The compile step writes:

Compile Output mobile-design-foundations/
MIXTAPE.md
sources/
NN-source-slug.md

Use The Result

Section titled “Use The Result”

Give the AI the project folder when it can read files. For lighter use, paste MIXTAPE.md into the conversation and keep the sources/ folder nearby for detail.

Recompile

Section titled “Recompile”

If you change tape.yaml or synthesis.md, run:

$liner compile mobile-design-foundations

In the terminal UI, completed mixtapes open the existing compile result by default. Press r from the compile screen to rerun the compile.
