DailyBot CLI

A command-line interface for DailyBot that lets people and software agents share progress updates, blockers, and feedback — straight from the terminal.

Whether you're a developer who lives in the terminal or an AI agent running in a CI pipeline, the DailyBot CLI gives you a fast way to submit check-ins without leaving your workflow.

Installation

pip install dailybot-cli

Or via the install script:

curl -sSL https://cli.dailybot.com/install.sh | bash

Requires Python 3.9+.

For humans

Authenticate once with your DailyBot email, then submit updates and check pending check-ins right from your terminal.

# Log in (one-time setup, email OTP)
dailybot login

# See what check-ins are waiting for you
dailybot status

# Submit a free-text update
dailybot update "Finished the auth module, starting on tests."

# Or use structured fields
dailybot update --done "Auth module" --doing "Tests" --blocked "None"

Run dailybot with no arguments to enter interactive mode — if you're not logged in yet, it will walk you through authentication first, then let you submit updates step by step.

For agents

Any software agent — AI coding assistants, CI jobs, deploy scripts, bots — can report activity through the CLI. This lets teams get visibility into what automated processes are doing, alongside human updates.

Authenticate with any of these methods (checked in this order):

# Option 1: Environment variable (CI pipelines, one-off scripts)
export DAILYBOT_API_KEY=your-key

# Option 2: Store the key on disk (recommended for dev machines)
dailybot config key=your-key

# Option 3: Use your login session (no API key needed)
dailybot login

Then run agent commands:

# Report a deployment
dailybot agent update "Deployed v2.1 to staging"

# Name the agent so the team knows who's reporting
dailybot agent update "Built feature X" --name "Claude Code"

# Include structured data
dailybot agent update "Tests passed" --name "CI Bot" --json-data '{"suite": "integration", "passed": 42}'

# Report agent health
dailybot agent health --ok --message "All systems go" --name "Claude Code"
dailybot agent health --fail --message "DB unreachable" --name "CI Bot"

# Check agent health status
dailybot agent health --status --name "Claude Code"

# Register a webhook to receive messages
dailybot agent webhook register --url https://my-server.com/hook --secret my-token --name "Claude Code"

# Unregister a webhook
dailybot agent webhook unregister --name "Claude Code"

# Send a message to an agent
dailybot agent message send --to "Claude Code" --content "Review PR #42"
dailybot agent message send --to "Claude Code" --content "Do X" --type command

# List messages for an agent
dailybot agent message list --name "Claude Code"
dailybot agent message list --name "Claude Code" --pending
