# OpenCLI Agent Pack: pgcli

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

## What this CLI is for
Postgres shell, autocomplete, and readable results from the terminal. Built by dbcli.

Best for: postgres shell, autocomplete, and readable results from the terminal.

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


## Install
```sh
pipx install pgcli
```

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

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

```sh
pgcli postgres://localhost/postgres
```

## 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.
- Require confirmation before apply, delete, deploy, transfer, merge, or write actions.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use pgcli (`pgcli`) for postgres shell, autocomplete, and readable results 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.
