CLI Reference

The KoLmafia Graphical CLI is one of the most helpful features Mafia has. This page is intended to provide information on the commands available.

How to use these commands

Square brackets [ ] enclose optional elements of commands. In command descriptions, they may also enclose the effects of using those optional elements.

Vertical bars | separate alternative elements - choose any one. (But note that || is an actual part of a few commands.)

An ellipsis ... after an element means that it can be repeated as many times as needed.

Elements in italics are placeholders - replace them with an actual name you want the command to operate on.

Commands with an asterisk * after the name are abbreviations - you can type them in a longer form if desired.

Some command names can be followed by a question mark (shown as [?] ), in which case the command will just display what it would do, rather than actually doing it.

When adventuring, or using an item or skill, the name can be preceded by a number specifying how many times to do it. An asterisk in place of this number means "as many as possible" or "the current quantity in inventory", depending on context. Negative numbers mean to do that many less than the maximum.

Usually, multiple commands can be given on the same line, separated by semicolons. The exceptions (alias, ash, ashq, cheapest, expensive, fecho, fprint, get, set, speculate, whatif, later) treat the entire remainder of the line as a parameter.

A few commands (elseif, else, if, try, while) treat at least one following command as a block that is executed conditionally or repetitively. The block consists of the remainder of the line, or the entire next line if that's empty. The block is extended by additional lines if it would otherwise end with one of these special commands.

Quantity Parameter

Any place that a number can be used to define a quantity, such as autosell 5 heavy D, you can use one of the following to indicate a variable quantity:

• * is used to indicate all items in inventory.

autosell * heavy D

• 0 is also used to indicate all items in inventory.

autosell 0 heavy D

• a negative number means sell off all items except for the number listed. For example, -5 means keep 5 and sell the rest.

autosell -5 heavy D

Item Parameter

There are two ways to provide an item. By name or number.

• An item's name can be used in the obvious way, however this may sometimes fail because some items have numbers as part of their names. KoL's fuzzy matching will sometimes make a mistake such as interpreting 1 WA as a 100-watt light bulb.

• An item's ID number can be used to avoid any possibility of ambiguity. This also allows names with commas to be passed as parameters to functions that contain comma separated lists. To do this the item needs to be prefaced by a pilcrow. The character: ¶, is also known as a paragraph mark. It can be typed from your keyboard with a bit of know-how or included in an ash script as "\u00B6".

send 1 ¶4358 to Bale|Thanks for being awesome

is a way to send A Crimbo Carol, Ch. 5 to Bale despite the comma in the item's name.
