@agentskit/cli

@agentskit/cli

Chat with any LLM, scaffold projects, and run agents — all from your terminal.

Why

• Zero setup for prototyping — go from idea to running conversation in under a minute; no boilerplate, no config files to write
• Scaffold production-ready projects — generate a React chat app or terminal agent with the right structure so you skip the boring setup
• Script and automate — pipe inputs, use env vars for keys, and compose with other Unix tools for lightweight agent scripting

Install

npm install -g @agentskit/cli

Quick example

# Chat with Claude instantly
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... agentskit chat --provider anthropic --model claude-sonnet-4-6

# Chat with a local model (no API key needed)
agentskit chat --provider ollama --model llama3.1

# Scaffold a new React chat app
agentskit init --template react --dir my-app

# Scaffold a terminal agent
agentskit init --template ink --dir my-cli

# Run a headless agent (same building blocks as the CLI)
agentskit run --help

Next steps

• Generated apps use @agentskit/react or @agentskit/ink — extend with @agentskit/tools, @agentskit/skills, and @agentskit/runtime for programmatic agents
