# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Nushell

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

## What this CLI is for
Structured shell, pipelines, and data transforms from the terminal. Built by Nushell. Supports structured output — good for scripts and agents.

Best for: structured shell, pipelines, and data transforms from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Great for agents (75/100)
- Structured output is available for parsing.
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.

## Install
```sh
brew install nushell
```

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

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

```sh
nu
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Start read-only, then ask before mutations.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Nushell (`nu`) for structured shell, pipelines, and data transforms 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.
