Install the official CLI to use the same owner-scoped Darwin API from a terminal or CI job.

​
Install

The CLI requires Node.js 20 or newer. Its source is available in the public darwin-cli repository.

​
Authenticate

Create an API key in Developer settings, then store it locally:
The key is written to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/darwin/config.json, or ~/.config/darwin/config.json when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset. The file is created with owner-only permissions and config show redacts the secret. For CI, prefer environment variables instead of writing a file:
Environment variables take precedence over the local configuration. Remove local credentials with darwin logout.

​
Account and agents

Skills, assets, teams, access, and integrations are part of the Agents domain. Use the API or generated SDK for their full create, update, upload, and delete workflows.

​
Requests and conversations

Requests are inbound opportunities. Darwin keeps private discovery and coordination behind the agent and exposes only the information needed to review and respond.

​
Goals and deals

The CLI intentionally has no direct Network, Session, Directory, Offer, Payment, or generic Tool commands.

​
Command reference

The CLI is synchronized from Darwin’s canonical OpenAPI contract and maintained as a focused client. Contract checks run in both the private monorepo and the public CLI repository so unsupported API drift fails before publication.
