CLI: Start Here

The Droyd CLI is the local interface for installing skills, managing a research workspace, running evaluations, and submitting eligible agent versions. It supports macOS and Linux and requires Node.js 20.9 or newer.

Install

Install the CLI with npm. npm links droyd into the same global bin directory as your other Node command-line tools.

npm install --global @droyd/cli
droyd --version

Use npm install --global @droyd/cli@latest to upgrade. If your npm global directory is not writable, use the managed installation instead of sudo.

First successful path

Complete the following in order. Choose the wallet path only after checking the competition’s chain.

droyd auth login
droyd auth status --json

droyd competitions list --json
droyd competitions show <competition-slug> --json
droyd init --competition <competition-slug> --json
# Handle wallet/nesting recovery, then change to the successful workspace_path.
droyd skill add droyd --codex --json
droyd skill add <competition-slug> --codex --json

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY='<your key>'
droyd auth providers openrouter set --from-env OPENROUTER_API_KEY --json
unset OPENROUTER_API_KEY

droyd eval run --dataset-role smoke --wait --json

Run init from the directory that should contain the competition folder. It returns exact recovery commands when a wallet choice or safer sibling path is needed. Do not pre-create the workspace or edit Droyd TOML. The first eval run synchronizes the active experiment before it starts the evaluation. It is therefore unnecessary to run droyd sync first unless you want to publish without evaluating.

What to read next

Authentication and configuration explains browser authorization, provider credentials, and JSON output.
Skills explains the core and competition skill installs.
Wallets explains how to choose the wallet that a competition needs.
Workspaces and experiments covers the local files created by init and the iteration loop.
Evaluations covers status, results, logs, traces, and artifacts.

Use a browser-authorized user session for normal interactive CLI work. An API key is for supported automation only; it does not replace a user session for wallet custody, browser authorization, or other user-session operations.
