Paste the block below into Claude Code, Cursor’s terminal agent, or any coding agent with shell access. The agent installs @theplato/tiro-cli from npm, runs OAuth in your browser, and verifies the session.

Copy this prompt
The Tiro CLI install prompt
Install the Tiro CLI in this environment and sign me in.
Package : @theplato/tiro-cli (Node.js 20+)
Platforms : macOS, Linux, Windows
Auth : OAuth (Authorization Code + PKCE) — opens a browser
and stores the token in the OS keychain.
Steps:
1. Install globally with whichever package manager is already in
use here. For npm, that is:
npm install -g @theplato/tiro-cli
(Use pnpm / yarn / bun equivalents if those are the active
package manager — do not switch tooling.)
2. Verify the install:
tiro --version # expect 0.3.1 or later
3. Sign me in:
tiro auth login # opens a browser for OAuth
4. Confirm the session:
tiro auth status # shows user + token prefix only
If this is a headless / CI / sandboxed environment without a browser,
do not run `tiro auth login`. Instead, ask me for a TIRO_TOKEN value
and export it for subsequent commands:
export TIRO_TOKEN="<paste-token-here>"
When everything is connected, run:
tiro notes list --limit 3 --json
and show me the output to prove the CLI is working. If any step
fails, show the exact command, the exit code, and the error — do
not retry silently.
The prompt tells the agent to respect the package manager already in use in your workspace. You won’t end up with both npm and pnpm lockfiles after the install.
What your agent will do
- Detect your package manager (npm / pnpm / yarn / bun) and install
@theplato/tiro-cli globally.
- Verify the binary is on
PATH by running tiro --version.
- Run
tiro auth login — your browser opens for OAuth. The bearer token is stored in the OS-native keychain (Keychain / Secret Service / Credential Manager).
- Call
tiro auth status and tiro notes list --limit 3 --json to prove the connection.
In a headless environment, the agent pauses on step 3 and asks you for a TIRO_TOKEN instead — see Headless, CI, and agent environments for how to mint one.
Privacy & token handling
- OAuth tokens are stored in the OS-native credential store. The full bearer never appears on stdout — only a prefix like
tk__...***.
TIRO_TOKEN, if set, overrides the keychain — useful for CI secrets, dangerous if it leaks into shell history.
- Rotate by running
tiro auth logout && tiro auth login on a trusted machine, then update the secret store.
