# OpenCLI Agent Pack: meli

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

## What this CLI is for
Terminal email, mail client, and knowledge work from the terminal. Built by meli. Runs entirely on your machine.

Best for: terminal email, mail client, and knowledge work from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Human-first CLI (10/100)
- Can run locally with less credential exposure.

## Install
```sh
brew install meli
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
meli --help
```
Expected signal: meli responds locally; authenticate before real work.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
meli --help
```

```sh
meli
```

## 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.
- Verify identity/account before running task commands.
- Network access is required; avoid leaking secrets in logs.
- Require confirmation before apply, delete, deploy, transfer, merge, or write actions.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use meli (`meli`) for terminal email, mail client, and knowledge work 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.
