Use the Prowl CLI (`prowl`) to inspect or control a running Prowl GUI app and the agent sessions it hosts. Prowl runs several coding agents in parallel, each in its own pane/tab/worktree, so reach for this whenever the user wants to act on a pane other than the current one — check on, coordinate, read from, focus, send text or keys to, open, or close another pane, tab, worktree, split, window, or sibling/neighboring agent. Covers colloquial framings that never say "prowl…
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
# Prowl CLI Use `prowl` only when the task is to inspect or control the running Prowl GUI app: read panes, check sibling agents, focus a pane, open a repo/path in Prowl, send text, send keys, or create/close panes and tabs. Do not use it merely because the current shell is inside the Prowl repo. The authoritative per-command reference is Prowl's manual, `components/cli.md` under the docs folder. That folder is `docs/` in a Prowl source checkout; otherwise it ships inside the app bundle, which you can locate from the installed CLI (normally `/Applications/Prowl.app/Contents/Resources/docs`): ```bash prowl_docs="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$(command -v prowl)")")")/docs" ls "$prowl_docs/components/" # cli.md, agent-detection.md, workflows.md, … ``` Other `docs/components/*.md` references below live in that same folder. …

How to install
mdr add onevcat/prowl/prowl-cli@sha256:d093f4dbeebd54b4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.8fbbd70, 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.
