Parallel research workflows

Use the maintained CLI directly. Check parallel-cli --help, the relevant subcommand's help, and parallel-cli auth when the effective account is unknown. Record the installed package/binary version. Do not silently install, update, log in, or change account configuration. For an authorised installation, prefer an isolated package-manager route such as uv tool install 'parallel-web-tools[cli]' over piping a downloaded shell script straight into a shell.

Keep credentials in the supported environment/secret store and use --json for bounded commands. Check exit status, JSON shape, warnings, and per-item outcomes. A command succeeding does not make its research conclusions true.
