Set up and maintain the Parallel CLI (install, auth, balance, skills install).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Parallel CLI Setup Set up or maintain `parallel-cli` with minimal friction. If you are running this prompt, your goal is to follow the instructions below and set up `parallel-cli` for the user so that they can execute searches, run extracts, deep research, etc. ## Step 1: Install or upgrade the CLI Check whether the CLI exists: ```bash command -v parallel-cli ``` If missing, install with any of these methods: 1. macOS only: `brew install parallel-web/tap/parallel-cli` 2. Linux/macOS/Windows (uv): `uv tool install "parallel-web-tools[cli]"` 3. Linux/macOS/Windows (npm): `npm install -g parallel-web-cli` 4. Linux/macOS/Windows (pipx): `pipx install "parallel-web-tools[cli]" && pipx ensurepath` When `parallel-cli` is present, require version `>=0.9.2`. If older, identify the install method before advising an update. Use `command -v parallel-cli`, then inspect `readlink "$(command -v parallel-cli)"` if it is a symlink. Paths under `~/.local/share/uv/ tools/` indicate `uv tool install`; paths under `~/.local/share/parallel-cli/` indicate the standalone installer. Upgrade commands (choose based on how it was installed): - standalone: `parallel-cli update` …

How to install
mdr add parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills/parallel-cli-setup@sha256:f1b3392a659639e3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.41c7730, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
