Actually installed the real rudder-cli 0.21.0 binary and ran it: `rudder-cli auth login` and `rudder-cli workspace info` are real, correctly documented commands — but the skill's binary-name table (e.g. `rudder-cli_darwin_arm64`) 404s against the live release; the real asset is `rudder-cli_Darwin_arm64.tar.gz` and needs an untar step the skill never mentions.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 3/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 6/10
  • Docs & honesty 3/5

What Rudder CLI Setup does

Guides an agent through detecting whether rudder-cli is installed, downloading the right GitHub Releases binary for the OS/arch, and authenticating against a RudderStack workspace via an access token. Triggers on rudder-cli install/setup/'command not found'/authentication requests.
