note: >-
  Instantly ships no general-purpose, registry-installable API CLI of the `stripe`/`gh` shape. What it
  does ship, first-party and MIT-licensed, are two command-line tools with narrower jobs: a
  bash/Node CLI that backs the official Agent Skills, and a project scaffolder. Both are recorded
  here as they are, without inflating either into a product CLI.
tools:
- name: instantly (skills CLI)
  official: true
  repository: https://github.com/Instantly-ai/instantly-skills
  entrypoint: core/instantly.mjs
  install:
  - method: bootstrap script
    command: ./bootstrap.sh
  - method: unix installer
    command: ./install.sh
  - method: windows installer
    command: ./install.ps1
  runtime: Node.js
  purpose: >-
    The single small CLI the instantly-gtm Agent Skill drives. Deliberately narrow — the README
    states it "has no endpoint for deletes, account changes, or billing", so an agent cannot perform
    a destructive or billing action through it. Endpoint names are held in one core/capability-map.json
    file so an API rename is a one-line patch rather than a skill rewrite.
  commands:
  - {name: setup, description: One-time setup; reads the workspace's website and builds a reusable business profile}
  - {name: setup --web, description: Connect an API key through a browser page rather than the terminal; the key goes browser to machine and is never seen by the assistant}
  - {name: auth.mjs disconnect, description: Remove or rotate the stored API key}
  - {name: doctor, description: Print the CLI VERSION and check the environment}
  credential_handling: >-
    The API key is written to a private file readable only by the user (plus the shell profile),
    never committed, never placed in shell history, and never exposed to the assistant.
  version: 1.1.0
  version_date: '2026-07-31'
  version_source: https://github.com/Instantly-ai/instantly-skills/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
- name: create-instantly-app
  official: true
  repository: https://github.com/Instantly-ai/instantly-starter-kit/tree/main/create-instantly-app
  install:
  - method: clone
    command: node create-instantly-app/index.js
  runtime: Node.js >= 18
  purpose: >-
    Scaffolds a wrapper service on top of the Instantly API — vendors the generated SDK into
    vendor/instantly-sdk, and writes AGENTS.md, docs and a chosen template (analytics-service,
    lead-pipeline, outbound-ops, outreach-service, reply-automation).
  version: 0.1.0
  registry: none
  caveat: >-
    Named as if it were an npx scaffolder but registry.npmjs.org/create-instantly-app returns 404,
    so `npx create-instantly-app` does not resolve. Clone-only today.
