klim share

Share your installed tools as a compact token, or install tools from a token shared by a teammate.

Terminal window
klim share # generate a share token
klim share open <token> # install from a share token
klim share open <token> --yes # non-interactive install
Terminal window
klim share

Outputs a compact klim:v1:... token that encodes your installed tool names. Share it via Slack, Teams, email, or any chat.

For scripting, request structured output:

Terminal window
klim share --output json
# {
# "token": "klim:v1:...",
# "tool_count": 24,
# "tools": ["az", "gh", "git", ...]
# }

The tools array is sorted, so the same installed set always produces the same token. When no tools are installed, token is omitted from the JSON payload.

Terminal window
klim share open "klim:v1:H4sIAAAA..."

Decodes the token, resolves tools from your local catalog, and installs via native package managers.

  1. Scans for all installed tools
  2. Encodes tool names into gzip-compressed, base64-encoded token
  3. Recipients decode and install via their local catalog + package managers

In the TUI, switch to the ★ Favorites tab and press s to share just your favorited tools.
