CrewAI CLI Cheatsheet - crewai Multi-agent Framework Full Reference

CrewAI splits multi-agent collaboration into two shapes that differ not in capability but in determinism. A crew hands a set of roles and tasks to the framework to orchestrate; a flow is code you write yourself, defining steps and branches. The first saves you code at the cost of an execution path that is not guaranteed identical between runs; the second costs a little more code and buys reproducibility, debuggability and breakpoints. Which one to pick depends on whether the process itself must be controlled: content production and research summaries, where a correct result is enough, usually suit a crew, while anything involving approval, fallback and retry generally needs a flow. This sheet covers install and creation, running and training, tools and maintenance, and help and troubleshooting, noting that create crew and create flow generate two entirely different directory layouts that should not be mixed. Reach for it when behaviour looks wrong: first confirm which shape you are running, then consider reset-mem, because a stale memory file is the real reason behind tasks edits that appear to do nothing.
