# 1Password CLI

Follow the official CLI get-started steps. Don't guess install commands.

## References

- `references/get-started.md` (install + app integration + sign-in flow)
- `references/cli-examples.md` (real `op` examples)

## Workflow

1. Check OS + shell.
2. Verify CLI present: `op --version`.
3. Confirm desktop app integration is enabled (per get-started) and the app is unlocked.
4. REQUIRED: create a fresh tmux session for all `op` commands (no direct `op` calls outside tmux).
5. Sign in / authorize inside tmux: `op signin` (expect app prompt).
6. Verify access inside tmux: `op whoami` (must succeed before any secret read).
7. If multiple accounts: use `--account` or `OP_ACCOUNT`.

## REQUIRED tmux session (tmux)

The shell tool uses a fresh TTY per command. To avoid re-prompts and failures, always run `op` inside a dedicated tmux session with a fresh socket/session name.

Example (see `tmux` skill for socket conventions, do not reuse old session names):

```bash
SOCKET_DIR="${PILOTDECK_TMUX_SOCKET_DIR:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/pilotdeck-tmux-sockets}"
mkdir -p "$SOCKET_DIR"
SOCKET="$SOCKET_DIR/pilotdeck-op.sock"
SESSION="op-auth-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"

tmux -S "$SOCKET" new -d -s "$SESSION" -n shell
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op signin --account my.1password.com" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op whoami" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- "op vault list" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" capture-pane -p -J -t "$SESSION":0.0 -S -200
tmux -S "$SOCKET" kill-session -t "$SESSION"
```

## Guardrails

- Never paste secrets into logs, chat, or code.
- Prefer `op run` / `op inject` over writing secrets to disk.
- If sign-in without app integration is needed, use `op account add`.
- If a command returns "account is not signed in", re-run `op signin` inside tmux and authorize in the app.
- Do not run `op` outside tmux; stop and ask if tmux is unavailable.
