Use this skill when Codex needs to work with the local `nostr` command from xdamman/nostr-cli for non-interactive Nostr social and bot workflows: account setup, relay management, profile lookup, note posting, replies, DMs, follow graph changes, long-form NIP-23 publishing, or JSON/JSONL streaming for automations.

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

# nostr-cli

Use the local `nostr` binary as a terminal-first Nostr client for non-interactive social and bot workflows.

Leave interactive TUI flows out of scope unless the user explicitly asks for them.

## Default workflow

1. Confirm the account context first:

```bash
nostr switch --json
```

2. If that fails because `nostr` is missing or no account is configured yet, read `references/onboarding.md`.
3. Before any write action, inspect the relay state for the account you intend to use:

```bash
nostr relays --json
```

4. For read-only work, use the CLI directly with machine-readable output:

```bash
nostr profile alice --json
nostr events --kinds 1 --since 1h --jsonl
nostr dm --watch --since 1h --jsonl
```

5. For DMs, public posting, replies, follows, or long-form publishing, prefer a dry run first when the command supports it, and pass `--account` explicitly for agent-initiated writes:

```bash
nostr dm alice "Hello" --account bot-account --json
nostr post "Hello Nostr" --account bot-account --dry-run --json
nostr reply note1abc... "Nice post" --account bot-account --dry-run --json
nostr post -f article.md --title "My Article" --account bot-account --dry-run --json
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add brenorb/freedom-skills/nostr-cli@sha256:8386c7759a17ad0f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260620.d584ab3, 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.
