Loops CLI Skill

This skill helps with Loops terminal workflows. Use it for installation, auth and configuration, command selection, and shell-first operational tasks.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user needs to:

• install, update, or troubleshoot the Loops CLI
• authenticate with Loops from the terminal
• manage stored team keys or switch between them
• run one-off contact, list, event, or transactional-email commands
• inspect CLI output in text or JSON locally

This skill is for command-line usage, not application integrations or email-strategy review.

Working Style

When this skill is active:

1. Prefer loops --help and command-specific help output for exact flags and the latest command shape.
2. Prefer the CLI for shell workflows, one-off operational tasks, credential validation, and quick troubleshooting.
3. Use --output json when the result needs to feed another tool or script.
4. Use named stored keys plus --team when the user works across multiple Loops teams.
5. Avoid printing secrets. Prefer keyring-backed auth or environment variables over hardcoded API keys.
6. If the task becomes application-code integration or exact HTTP payload design, use the separate api skill.

Output Checklist

Aim to leave the user with:

• the right command or install path for the task
• any auth or team-selection caveats that affect behavior
• safe handling of credentials
• the next validation step, such as loops --help, loops auth status, or loops api-key
