Motion Core

CLI Guide

List

List all available components in the registry.

Overview

motion-core list
queries the Motion Core registry and prints the full catalog of available components grouped by category. Use it to discover new components, verify that your CLI can reach the registry, or to pipe registry data into other tooling through the JSON output mode.

Usage

With

--json
the same information becomes:

      "category": "canvas",
      "description": "A retro-styled renderer that converts images into character-based visuals with configurable scanlines.",
      "name": "ASCII Renderer",
      "slug": "ascii-renderer"
    },
    {
      "category": "canvas",

When to use it

  • Validate connectivity: if the command fails you likely need to adjust
    MOTION_CORE_REGISTRY_URL
    or fix networking before running
    motion-core add
    .
  • Preview the names of components you plan to install, especially when scripting against the CLI.
  • Feed the JSON output into custom dashboards or documentation generators to keep stakeholders aware of the catalog.
