- Download the toolkit and extract to a folder
- Open your terminal and navigate to the folder
- Run the commands manually, copying output back to your chat
- Or paste the command documentation into your chat as context
# Example prompt for your AI:
"I have the CLI toolkit installed. Help me check my email using: kit email inbox-scan personal"
● Terminal AI Agents
Works with: Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Continue, Cody, GitHub Copilot CLI
- Extract toolkit to ~/kit or /opt/kit
- Add to PATH: export PATH="$PATH:~/kit/bin"
- Add documentation to your global AI instructions
# Add to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (or equivalent):
## Kit CLI Toolkit (22 tools) Run `~/cli-toolkit/kit help` for all commands. Email, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slack, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Shopify, Amazon, ShipStation, Zendesk, Monday, Transistor, Descript, Screenshots, Video Analysis, Oura, 1Password, Cloudflare
● OpenClaw / Custom Agent Frameworks
Works with: OpenClaw, AutoGPT, CrewAI, LangChain agents, custom implementations
- Mount the toolkit in your agent's execution environment
- Add kit commands to your agent's available tools
- Include command documentation in agent context
# Agent context addition:
22 kit CLI tools available via bash: kit email, kit cal, kit drive, kit docs, kit sheets, kit slack, kit tweet, kit yt, kit fb, kit shop, kit amazon, kit zendesk, kit monday, kit screenshot... Run `kit help` for full list.
● Open Source LLMs (Local)

- Install toolkit locally alongside your model
- Use a tool-calling framework (e.g., Ollama functions, LangChain)
- Or run commands manually based on model suggestions
# System prompt for local models:
You can suggest kit CLI commands. The user will run them. Available: kit email, kit cal, kit drive, kit docs, kit sheets, kit slack, kit tweet, kit yt, kit fb, kit shop, kit amazon, kit shipstation, kit zendesk, kit monday, kit transistor, kit descript, kit screenshot, kit shortlink, kit oura, kit cf Run `kit help` for full docs.
AI Email Management
AI-powered email processing that drafts responses, categorizes messages, and manages inbox workflow. Works with Gmail API.
Setup Guide →URL Shortening (is.gd)
Create short URLs instantly using the free is.gd service. Works from any terminal or can be integrated into your automation workflows.
# Simple one-liner (works anywhere):
curl -s "https://is.gd/create.php?format=simple&url=YOUR_URL"
Universal setup instructions
For Chat Interfaces (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini, etc.)
Just ask your AI: "Shorten this URL: [paste URL]" and it will generate a curl command you can run, or explain how to use is.gd directly.
For Terminal Agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider)
Add to your global instructions (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md):
## URL Shortening To shorten URLs, use: curl -s "https://is.gd/create.php?format=simple&url=URL"
For OpenClaw or Custom Agents
Add to agent context: The agent can shorten URLs using the is.gd API with a simple GET request.
Principal Architect Protocol
A 6-step methodology for having AI agents improve code, prompts, or any written work. Perfect for systematic refinement and quality improvement.
View Protocol →Mentor Protocol
A UX expert review methodology for getting actionable feedback on interfaces, with tiered recommendations organized by priority.
View Protocol →tmux Setup with Welcome Banner
Terminal multiplexer setup with a dynamic welcome banner showing system status. One of the first things I recommend when working with CLI agents.
Why tmux? Keep sessions alive, split terminals, and maintain context across SSH connections. The welcome banner gives your agent instant visibility into system status.
Getting a terminal that supports tmux
macOS
Built in. Open Terminal.app or iTerm2.
Install tmux: brew install tmux
Linux
Built in. Open any terminal.
Install tmux: sudo apt install tmux
Windows
Needs WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). See setup below.
Windows setup: WSL + Windows Terminal
Windows doesn't have a native Linux terminal, but WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) gives you a real Ubuntu environment inside Windows. Here's how to set it up:
1. Install WSL
Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
wsl --install This installs Ubuntu by default. Restart when prompted.
2. Install Windows Terminal
Get it free from the Microsoft Store. It's much better than the old Command Prompt.
3. Set Ubuntu as default profile
Open Windows Terminal → Settings → set Default profile to Ubuntu:
Now every new tab opens in Ubuntu/WSL with full Linux support.
4. Install tmux inside WSL
sudo apt update && sudo apt install tmux Once done, you have a real Linux terminal on Windows. Claude Code, Aider, and other CLI agents work here exactly like they do on Mac or Linux.

# Give this prompt to your AI agent:
"Please help me set up tmux with a welcome banner. I want:
1. tmux installed and configured
2. A welcome banner that shows when I open a terminal
3. The banner should display: hostname, uptime, disk usage, memory
4. Auto-attach to existing session or create new one"
