On this page

A jadpo package command names no action, one it doesn't have, or a package the project doesn't hold.

Area 14, Tools; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

Why Jadpo refuses it

jadpo package adds, updates, shows and checks packages, and each action acts on one package by its name and version. Installing or showing the wrong one would mislead, so a name that isn't there is refused.

What it looks like

A project with no packages, asked to show one:

shell
jadpo package show Stripe.v2024_06_20
jadpo package

error Stripe.v2024_06_20 isn't a package in this project

reason
The project holds no package: none in packages/ or shared/providers/.
next
Install one with jadpo package add, or write the app's own in shared/providers/<name>/<version>/ (agent)
rule
cli.package_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.package_arguments

(agent) at the end of the next: line means your coding agent can make the fix itself.

An action it doesn't have is refused with the ones it does:

shell
jadpo package install Stripe.v2024_06_20
jadpo package

error install isn't something jadpo package does

reason
jadpo package can new, show, check, verify, import, record, conform, protocol, add, update, remove, link, unlink, recipe, search, audit, publish or preview.
next
Run jadpo package show <name> or jadpo package check (agent)
rule
cli.package_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.package_arguments

How to fix it

If the package isn't installed yet, add it from its git repository, then show it:

shell
jadpo package add <git-url>@<tag>jadpo package show Stripe.v2024_06_20

It prints the package's surface: what it offers the app.
