A coding agent can discover a CLI through `--help`, but a short installed skill gives it the expected setup sequence, account-ID rule and JSON conventions before it starts guessing.

The skill ships inside the `dunsocial` npm package and can be installed for one supported agent or all detected targets.

## What you will do

- Install and authenticate the CLI.
- Install the matching agent skill.
- Test the agent with read-only JSON commands.

## Before you start

- Node.js 20 or newer and the DunSocial CLI installed with `npm install -g dunsocial`.
- A selected workspace and the DunSocial account IDs returned by `dun accounts list`.
- Browser login for a laptop, or a workspace-bound token stored in a secret manager for automation.

## Step by step

### 1. Install and sign in

Use browser login on a development machine.

```
npm install -g dunsocial
dun auth login
```

### 2. Select a workspace

Choose the workspace once and confirm its accounts.

```
dun workspace list
dun workspace use YOUR_WORKSPACE
dun accounts list --json
```

### 3. Install the skill

Use the target matching your agent. Supported targets include Codex, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf and others.

```
dun skill install codex
# or: dun skill install all
```

### 4. Give the agent a read task

Ask it to inspect auth, workspace and queue state with JSON. Review the commands it proposes before allowing write actions.

## Check before you finish

- `dun workspace current` shows the intended workspace before a write command.
- The command uses DunSocial account IDs rather than social @handles.
- The new item appears in DunSocial with the expected CLI source, copy and time.

## Where to go next

Use the code-change or CI guides after the agent reliably selects real workspace and account IDs.
