Set up and maintain the Parallel CLI (install, auth, balance, skills install)

Install

With your agent

Install OMGSkills skill "parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills:parallel-cli-setup" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

Manual command

git clone https://github.com/parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills /tmp/parallel-agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/parallel-agent-skills/skills/parallel-cli-setup ~/.claude/skills/parallel-cli-setup

From README

Parallel CLI Set up or maintain parallel-cli with minimal friction. If you are running this prompt, your goal is to follow the instructions below and set up parallel-cli for the user so that they can execute searches, run extracts, deep research, etc. Step 1: or upgrade the CLI Check whether the CLI exists: If missing, with any of these methods: macOS only: brew parallel-web/tap/parallel-cli Linux/macOS/Windows (uv): uv tool "parallel-web-tools[cli]" Linux/macOS/Windows (npm): npm -g parallel-web-cli Linux/macOS/Windows (pipx): pipx "parallel-web-tools[cli]" && pipx ensurepath When parallel-cli is present, require version >=0.9.2. If older, identify the method before advising an update. Use command -v parallel-cli, then inspect readlink "$(command -v parallel-cli)" if it is a symlink. Paths under /.local/share/uv/ tools/ indicate uv tool ; paths under /.local/share/parallel-cli/ indicate the standalone installer.
