Skydive CLI - Skydive

The Skydive CLI brings your agents to the terminal. Chat with them in a full TUI, send one-shot prompts from scripts, and manage agents, keys, and secrets from the command line. It runs on macOS and Linux. On a Mac you can also use the desktop app; on Linux the CLI is how you give an agent access to your machine today.

Install

curl -fsSL https://skydive.sh | sh

npm install -g skydive-cli

The install script drops a standalone skydive binary in ~/.local/bin. No Node required, and skydive update upgrades it in place. Use npm if you would rather manage it alongside your other global packages. Run it without installing anything:

npx skydive-cli chat

Beta channel

Beta builds carry the newest features ahead of stable, published on every change:

SKYDIVE_CHANNEL=canary sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://skydive.sh)"

npm install -g skydive-cli@beta

Beta builds move fast and can break. Reinstall without the channel override to return to stable.
