Set up, authenticate, update, troubleshoot, or choose between Tavily CLI web commands. Use when the user asks about the Tavily CLI, installing Tavily skills, first-time setup, authentication, keyless limits, CLI updates, or which Tavily command to use. For an ordinary web task, use the specific search, extract, map, crawl, research, or dynamic-search skill instead.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/tavily-ai/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/tavily-cli ~/.claude/skills/tavily-cli
