Pair apwcli's daemon with Apple Passwords (iCloud Keychain) with nobody at the screen, by reading the macOS 6-digit PIN through Accessibility and submitting it. Use when apwcli says "session is not paired" or "pairing cancelled", after a Mac reboots or logs out, or to pair a fleet Mac over ssh.

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

# apwcli-pair

apwcli's daemon pairs with Apple's password helper once per login session. Pairing shows a
6-digit PIN in a macOS window, "Verification Code", that a person normally reads and types. This
script reads it through Accessibility and submits it, so no one needs to be at the screen.

## Commands

```bash
# on the Mac itself
~/.agents/skills/apwcli-pair/scripts/apwcli-pair

# another fleet Mac, from anywhere
ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=15 <host> 'zsh -lc ~/.agents/skills/apwcli-pair/scripts/apwcli-pair'
```

A paired host prints `already paired` and exits 0, so the command is safe to repeat. Check the
result with `apwcli pw get github.com`, not with `apwcli daemon status`: its `pairing` line reads
"not paired" for a few seconds while a challenge is open even when the session works.

| Exit | Meaning | Do |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | `paired` or `already paired` | carry on |
| 1 | the helper rejected the PIN | run it again; a second failure means a stale window, so `apwcli daemon restart` first |
| 2 | apwcli error (no daemon, no browser) | run `apwcli doctor` on that host |
| 3 | no PIN visible within 15 s | see preconditions; then the fallback |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add soulmachine/skills/apwcli-pair@sha256:7e9723f494122127

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.04769e1, 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.
