Parallel Cli Setup

parallel-web/parallel-agent-skillsOfficial

This handles the entire setup flow for Parallel's CLI so you can get to actual web searches and data extraction without fighting installation steps. It detects whether you need to install fresh or upgrade, picks the right package manager (brew, uv, npm, pipx), walks through OAuth device flow authentication, checks your account balance, and installs the Parallel skills bundle into your agents directory. The smart part is version detection and method-aware upgrades. It knows if you installed via uv versus standalone and suggests the right update command. Once it's done, you've got search, extract, and deep research skills ready to invoke. Basically removes all the "am I on the right version, did auth work" friction from onboarding.

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:

command -v parallel-cli

If missing, install with any of these methods:

macOS only: brew install parallel-web/tap/parallel-cli
Linux/macOS/Windows (uv): uv tool install "parallel-web-tools[cli]"
Linux/macOS/Windows (npm): npm install -g parallel-web-cli
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):
