Install the Tilebox CLI and Agent Skills

Install the Tilebox CLI and Tilebox Agent Skills with the setup wizard. Skills installation requires Node.js and npm for npx.

The CLI is the default interface for coding agents because it works in the same terminal where the agent edits files, runs tests, and applies changes. The skills add task-level instructions for CLI usage, dataset management, job monitoring, workflow authoring, and automations.

Authenticate the CLI

Set TILEBOX_API_KEY in the environment where your agent runs. You can create an API key in the Tilebox Console.

Follow the shell-specific authentication instructions to activate and save your key. Start your agent from the configured terminal, or use its secret settings; an already-running agent cannot inherit a variable set later in another terminal.

Use a key with the smallest permissions needed for the task you want the agent to perform.

Verify the setup

Ask your agent to inspect its Tilebox capabilities before assigning a larger task.

Verify with your agent

Check your Tilebox setup. Confirm whether the tilebox CLI is installed, whether you can inspect commands with tilebox agent-context, which Tilebox skills are available, and which datasets are available. Do not modify any Tilebox resources.
