Install

1

Install Node.js

If you don’t have Node.js installed yet, download it here.
2

Install with npm

Run the following command in your terminal:
npm install -g @usezombie/zombiectl
Use npx to run without a global install:
npx @usezombie/zombiectl --help

​
Agent Skills

If you are running an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.), register zombiectl as a skill so the agent can invoke it directly during a session: 
npx skills add @usezombie/zombiectl
Once registered, the agent can call zombiectl run, zombiectl workspace, and other commands natively without manual invocation.

​
Verify installation

zombiectl --version

​
Check connectivity

Run the built-in diagnostics command to verify API connectivity, auth status, and local configuration: 
zombiectl doctor
doctor checks:
  • CLI version
  • API reachability (https://api.usezombie.com)
  • Auth token validity
  • Detected AI agent integrations (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.)
It does not require authentication to run.
