Use this flow when an agent needs to evaluate an existing CLI.

inter init creates the Intermesh workspace and installs the managed planning Skill.

2. Select the CLI

From a repository that contains one CLI package:
If there is more than one package, Intermesh returns structured choices. The agent reruns setup with the requested explicit package directory, package manager, and build script. For an npm package, tarball, or remote Git repository, use the source-specific setup options in Bring an existing CLI.

4. Run after authorization

Only run a reviewed plan with the dedicated, restricted credential it names.
