See platform limits in the support matrix. Run multi-cli tools to check your machine.
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
multi-cli new <tool>/<name> |
Create an account profile (credentials separate; normal state shared) |
multi-cli new <tool>/<name> --isolated |
Create a whole-root isolated profile when the AI tool supports it; aliases: --isolate, -i |
multi-cli new <tool>/<name> --from <template> |
Create a schema-v2 profile from a schema-v2 template |
multi-cli <tool>/<name> |
Launch a profile |
multi-cli launch <tool>/<name> [-- args...] |
Launch and pass arguments to the tool |
multi-cli list [<tool>] |
List profiles |
multi-cli clone <tool>/<src> <tool>/<dest> |
Copy a schema-v2 profile |
multi-cli rename <tool>/<old> <tool>/<new> |
Rename a profile |
multi-cli delete <tool>/<name> |
Delete a profile after confirmation |
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
multi-cli auth set <tool>/<profile> |
Store a process secret in the OS credential store |
multi-cli auth status <tool>/<profile> |
Check whether that secret exists |
multi-cli auth clear <tool>/<profile> |
Remove that secret |
multi-cli continue <tool> <src> <dest> [--dry-run] [--no-merge] |
Copy supported session state, never credentials |
multi-cli template save <tool>/<profile> <name> |
Save a credential-free schema-v2 template |
multi-cli template list | delete <name> |
List or delete templates |
multi-cli export <tool>/<name> [path] |
Export a schema-v2 profile |
multi-cli import <archive> <tool>/<name> |
Import a schema-v2 archive |
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
multi-cli migrate <tool>/<name> [--dry-run] [--prefer-profile] |
Migrate a legacy profile to schema v2 |
multi-cli status |
Show profiles and sizes |
multi-cli stats |
Show profile storage use |
multi-cli doctor [--deep] |
Diagnose setup and optionally audit runtimes |
multi-cli completion {bash|zsh|powershell} |
Print shell completion setup |
multi-cli help |
Show every command |
multi-cli version |
Show the installed version |
| Mode | What stays separate | What stays shared |
|---|---|---|
| File overlay | Declared credential files | Native configuration and conversations |
| Process secret | One credential injected into the child process | The tool's normal state |
| OS user | The product's fixed OS credential identity | Nothing unless the AI tool allows it |
| Isolated tool home | The entire tool home | Nothing |
Profiles use the narrowest supported boundary. --isolated creates a separate tool home. Fixed OS credentials use a Multi-CLI-owned OS user and require an elevated terminal on Windows.
AI tools using a process secret require one extra step:
multi-cli new cursor-cli/work
multi-cli auth set cursor-cli/work
multi-cli cursor-cli/work
Older profiles keep their original whole-root behavior. Preview migration with:
multi-cli migrate codex/work --dry-run
Only schema-v2 profiles, templates, and archives are portable. Migrate legacy profiles first.
Copy supported conversation state when one account reaches a limit:
multi-cli continue codex work personal --dry-run
multi-cli continue codex work personal
multi-cli codex/personal
codex resume
base refers to the tool's normal home, so either side can be a profile or the default installation. Credentials are never copied. Session transfer is supported for codex, claude-cli, gemini-cli, and commandcode.
Each profile gets a shortcut such as claude-cli-work.
| Platform | Location |

Restart the terminal if multi-cli or a new profile alias is not found after installation. The support matrix covers product-specific requirements.
