Quick Start

This is the fastest end-to-end Agenda Panda workflow: install the CLI, authenticate, connect a platform, preview a calendar, and open the dashboard before applying anything.

1. Onboard your AI agent

Agenda Panda is built for agents. Instead of narrating each step manually, hand one prompt to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or OpenClaw:

claude "Fetch https://agendapanda.com/SKILL.md to learn how to use Agenda Panda. Then connect my X and LinkedIn accounts, run ap context --json, build a calendar.json for next week's launch posts, preview it with ap calendar sync --file calendar.json --dry-run, and open ap dashboard for my review. Do not create the calendar one post at a time."

If you are doing the setup yourself, use the hosted installer:

curl -fsSL https://agendapanda.com/install.sh | bash && ap init

2. Authenticate

ap init will start auth for you, or you can run it directly:

ap auth login

In interactive shells, Agenda Panda uses a device-auth flow:

Press Enter to open your browser and log in Yes

Your code: D8Z3869GF3NF

Paste this code in the browser tab that just opened.
Link: https://agendapanda.com/cli/authorize?code=D8Z3869GF3NF

Open the exact URL, approve the session, and the CLI resumes automatically.

For CI/CD or a fully headless environment, export an API key instead:

export AP_API_KEY=ap_your_key_here
ap auth status

3. Connect a platform

ap connections add x
ap connections add linkedin

If your shell cannot open a browser, print the auth URL instead:

ap connections add x --no-open --json

Agenda Panda currently supports X, LinkedIn, Facebook Pages, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, and TikTok.

4. Review your first calendar

ap calendar sync --file calendar.json --dry-run
ap dashboard

Once the calendar looks right in both the dry-run and the dashboard, apply it:

ap calendar sync --file calendar.json

No connections yet?

If you skip platform setup during ap init, running ap post can offer to connect one inline before posting.

Need a one-off post instead?

Use ap post "Hello from the terminal!" for one post. Use calendar.json plus ap calendar sync --dry-run when you want week-long or month-long planning.

5. Post to multiple platforms

# Post to all connected platforms
ap post "Hello everywhere!" --all

# Post to specific platforms
ap post "Hello X and LinkedIn" --connection x,linkedin

6. Add AI media when you need it

ap media generate "cinematic product launch hero shot" --aspect 16:9
ap post "Shipping today" --media-id abc12345
