description: |
  First-party CLI for managing ElevenAgents as code — store agent, tool and test
  configuration in version control, push it from CI, and let a coding assistant drive the
  platform from a terminal. Scope is ElevenAgents plus auth; it is not a general client for
  the audio generation API.
positioning: |
  The provider draws an explicit line between the CLI and the hosted MCP server: "Use the
  CLI when you want agents in version control; use the hosted MCP server for conversational
  management."

  note: |
    Writes a SKILL.md per command group into skills/ from the CLI's OWN embedded API
    definition — no API key, works offline, and tracks whichever CLI version is installed.
    This is a second, generated source of Agent Skills alongside the hand-written ones the
    provider publishes at github.com/elevenlabs/skills (see skills/_index.yml).
