# CLI & Skills

Build more capable AI agents with reusable skills and platform-aware workflows.

## Overview

CLI is a command-line interface designed for AI-native workflows. It enables AI agents and developers to interact with applications, infrastructure, and deployment environments through a consistent interface.

Combined with Skills, agents can execute specialized workflows, understand platform-specific operations, and apply reusable knowledge across projects.

CLI provides a standardized execution layer that allows agents to:

* Deploy applications
* Manage infrastructure
* Execute operational workflows
* Access platform capabilities
* Automate repetitive tasks

## Getting Started

### 1. Generate an API Token

Before using CLI, create an API token from your Bult account.

1. Sign in to the Bult dashboard.
2. Navigate to **API Tokens**.
3. Click **Create Token**.
4. Copy and securely store the generated token.

> Keep your API token secure. Anyone with access to the token can perform actions on your behalf.

### 2. Install CLI

* Download latest [binary](https://github.com/bultcloud/cli/tags) release from GitHub
* or build from source:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/bultcloud/cli.git
cd cli
make build
./bin/bult --help
```

Refer to the repository README for the latest installation instructions.

### 3. Authenticate

Authenticate directly using the CLI:

```bash theme={null}
bult login
```

## Skills

Skills are reusable knowledge packages that teach AI agents how to perform specific tasks.

Instead of repeating instructions in every conversation, teams can package expertise into Skills and make it available to all agents.

Examples include:

* Application deployment
* Environment management
* Troubleshooting workflows
* Security procedures
* Platform best practices

Skills enable agents to operate consistently and follow established engineering standards.

## Use Cases

### AI-Powered Operations

Allow AI agents to deploy services, inspect environments, and perform operational tasks through a controlled interface.

### Team Knowledge Sharing

Convert internal runbooks and platform expertise into reusable Skills that every agent can use.

### Platform Automation

Automate repetitive workflows while maintaining consistency and best practices.
