Mech CLI Skill

Run mech --help for syntax reference and man mech for full command reference.

Agent Workflow

1. Start daemon (once at the beginning): mech start
2. Open and explore — mech open <URL> -n <name>, then mech show <TAB> to understand the structure
3. Navigate step by step — mech use <TAB:PATH> on a control, then mech show <TAB> again to see the result
4. Interact with forms — mech set <TAB:PATH> <VALUE> for individual fields, or mech use <TAB:PATH> key=value ... to pass form data inline
5. Fork before risky changes — mech fork <TAB> to preserve state
6. Clean up when done: mech close <TAB>, then mech stop

Tips

• Always run mech show <TAB> after mech use <TAB:PATH> to see results
• Add sleep 1-3 after use commands to allow page loads
• Use -n with mech open to give tabs meaningful names, then reference by name
• Controls are marked with @ in output — these are the interactive elements
• If stuck, explore adjacent paths or mech fork <TAB> and try alternatives
