For AI Agents

insim-cli is designed to be used by AI coding agents like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and others.

Setup for agents

export INSIM_LOGIN="[e-mail]"
export INSIM_ACCESS_KEY="your_access_key"

JSON output

Add --json to any command for machine-readable output:

insim --json contacts search "john doe"
insim --json sms list --limit 5
insim --json account info

AI workflow example

An agent receiving "send a message to John saying meeting is confirmed":

# Step 1: Find the contact
insim --json contacts search "john"
# → {"contacts": [{"phone_number": "[phone]", "score": 100}]}

# Step 2: Send the SMS
insim sms send "[phone]" "Meeting is confirmed"
# → SMS sent successfully!

SKILL.md

The package includes a comprehensive SKILL.md file with 25 detailed workflows that any AI agent can read to understand exactly how to use every feature of insim-cli. The REPL mode displays the path to this file on startup.
