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
