Install and authenticate the Intercom CLI (\`@intercom/cli\`) — a command-line tool for managing Intercom workspaces, designed for both human operators and AI agents. Use when the user asks to "install the Intercom CLI", "set up the intercom command", "install @intercom/cli", or wants shell access to their Intercom workspace.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/intercom/claude-plugin-external /tmp/claude-plugin-external && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugin-external/skills/install-cli ~/.claude/skills/install-cli
```

## From README

Intercom CLI the @intercom/cli package globally and authenticate it against the user's workspace. The CLI complements this plugin: the plugin is for in-conversation MCP , while the CLI is for shell access, scripting, and workspace provisioning. Prerequisites Before installing, verify the user has: Node.js \>= 20.6.0 — Run node --version to check. If missing or older, direct them to via nodejs.org or their version manager (nvm, fnm, volta). npm — Comes bundled with Node. If node --version returns /bin is on $PATH | Step 4 (Optional): Shell Completions Recommend this only if the user uses intercom interactively in their shell. Restart the shell or source the rc file for completions to take effect. Quick Reference After , the user can run any of these. Don't dump this whole list at them — surface relevant commands based on their goal.
