Set up with a coding agent

Install garage and connect a coding agent to your account.

Install the garage CLI and the garage skill. Then connect the agent to your account.

Install the CLI

Install the CLI:

npm install --global @thegarage/cli

For Claude Code, save the published skill in the project:

mkdir -p .claude/skills/garage
curl -fsSL https://thegarage.sh/skill.md \
  --output .claude/skills/garage/SKILL.md

For another client with a skill system, save the same SKILL.md in the location that client reads.

Choose the flow that matches the location of the agent.

If you can complete a browser sign-in on the agent’s machine, run:

garage setup
garage auth status --json

Use this flow when a coding agent sets up garage for you. Also use it when the agent cannot open your browser.

Agent: start signup
```
garage agent register --email you@example.com --yes
```
Replace the email address with yours. The command displays a claim link and a six-digit code. It then waits for your approval. --yes skips the prompt on the agent’s machine. You must still approve in a browser.
You: create or sign in to your account

Open the link that the agent displays. Create a garage account with the same email address, or sign in with it. Then enter the six-digit code to connect the agent.
Agent: verify the connection

After approval, the registration command stores the credential and prints Agent connected. Verify the active identity:
```
garage auth status --json
```

List agents connected to the account:

garage agent list

Renew an expired agent credential:

garage agent refresh

Disconnect an agent and revoke the API keys issued through its registration:

garage agent revoke <registration-id> --yes
