​
1. Install the CLI

AGW CLI requires Node.js 18+ and npm 10+. 
npm install -g @abstract-foundation/agw-cli
agw-cli --version

​
2. Start authentication

Run the init flow: 
agw-cli auth init --json '{"chainId":2741}' --execute
This opens the companion app in your browser, where you connect an existing AGW or create a new one and approve the agent signer for this machine.

​
3. Verify the session

agw-cli session doctor --json '{}'
agw-cli session status --json '{"fields":["status","readiness","accountAddress","policyPreset"]}'

​
4. Install the AGW skills

npx skills add https://github.com/Abstract-Foundation/agw-cli/tree/main/packages/agw-cli/skills -y

​
What you get

  • a local device authorization key
  • a linked AGW session for this machine
  • policy-scoped permissions enforced through the companion flow

​
Next
