The Talos CLI (@talosjs/cli) scaffolds applications, modules, controllers, services, and other resources from code generation templates. It exposes two binaries, talos and its short alias oo, which are interchangeable.

​
Prerequisites

The CLI runs on Bun. Install Bun before installing the CLI: 
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
Verify the installation: 
bun --version

​
Global installation

Install the CLI globally with Bun: 
bun add -g @talosjs/cli
Confirm it is available: 
talos help
Both talos and oo resolve to the same binary, so every command in this section can be run with either name: 
talos app:create
oo app:create
To run the CLI without a global install, invoke it through bunx: 
bunx @talosjs/cli@latest app:create

​
Zsh completions

The CLI ships context-aware Zsh completions for both the oo and talos binaries, including per-command option suggestions. Install them with: 
talos completion:zsh
This writes the completion files to ~/.zsh/_oo and ~/.zsh/_talos. Then add the following to your ~/.zshrc if it is not already present, so Zsh can find and load the completions: 
fpath=(~/.zsh $fpath)
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
Reload your shell or open a new terminal, then press Tab after a command to see available options: 
talos controller:create --<Tab>
