# PandaDoc Skill

Create, send, and track documents with PandaDoc's document automation platform.

## Quick Install

```bash
curl -sSL https://canifi.com/skills/pandadoc/install.sh | bash
```

Or manually:
```bash
cp -r skills/pandadoc ~/.canifi/skills/

## Privacy & Authentication

**Your credentials, your choice.** Canifi LifeOS respects your privacy.

### Option 1: Manual Browser Login (Recommended)
If you prefer not to share credentials with Claude Code:
1. Complete the [Browser Automation Setup](/setup/automation) using CDP mode
2. Login to the service manually in the Playwright-controlled Chrome window
3. Claude will use your authenticated session without ever seeing your password

### Option 2: Environment Variables
If you're comfortable sharing credentials, you can store them locally:
```bash
canifi-env set SERVICE_EMAIL "your-email"

```

**Note**: Credentials stored in canifi-env are only accessible locally on your machine and are never transmitted.
