Quickstart

From a fresh install to running your first workflow. If you haven’t installed the CLI yet, start with Installation.

1. Authenticate

machina login

This opens your browser for Clerk SSO / magic-link sign-in and stores your session locally. For CI or headless environments, use an API key instead — see Authentication.

2. Select an organization

machina org list             # list organizations you belong to
machina org use <org-id>     # set the default organization

3. Select a project

machina project list                # list projects in the org
machina project use <project-id>    # set the default project

Your default org and project are saved to ~/.machina/config.json and used for every subsequent command. Override per-command with --project.

4. Explore and run

machina workflow list           # browse workflows
machina agent list              # browse agents
machina skills list             # browse the skills registry

machina workflow run <name>          # run a workflow (prompts for inputs)
machina agent run <name> --watch     # run an agent and watch progress

Run machina with no arguments to open the interactive REPL — the same commands without the machina prefix, with tab completion and history.
