# OpenCLI Agent Pack: bottom

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `btm`.

## What this CLI is for
System monitoring, cpu, and process inspection from the terminal. Built by Clement Tsang.

Best for: system monitoring, cpu, and process inspection from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Human-first CLI (0/100)


## Install
```sh
brew install bottom
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
btm --version
```
Expected signal: btm responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
btm --version
```

```sh
btm
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.
- Expect prompts; keep a human in the loop for interactive flows.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use bottom (`btm`) for system monitoring, cpu, and process inspection from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
