# OpenCLI Agent Pack: VisiData

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

## What this CLI is for
Interactive data exploration, spreadsheets, and terminal analytics from the terminal. Built by VisiData.

Best for: interactive data exploration, spreadsheets, and terminal analytics from the terminal.

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


## Install
```sh
pipx install visidata
```

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

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

```sh
vd data.csv
```

## 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.
- Start read-only, then ask before mutations.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use VisiData (`vd`) for interactive data exploration, spreadsheets, and terminal analytics 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.
