Nudocs

Use the authenticated Nudocs CLI to upload documents for hosted editing, retrieve private edit links, list or export documents, and delete a specific remote document.

Setup without exposing credentials

Inspect nudocs --help and nudocs config --help before setup because authentication UX can change by version.

Use one authentication method, not both:

• Interactive personal setup: if the current CLI exposes an interactive login/config flow, complete it in the user's terminal. Otherwise have the user enter the key directly in a protected local editor or secret manager, outside the agent transcript. Keep ~/.config/nudocs mode 0700 and its API-key file mode 0600.
• Protected environment setup: use NUDOCS_API_KEY only when it is already supplied through protected local or CI secret storage.

Never ask the user to paste the key into chat, put it in a command argument, echo it into a file, display it with nudocs config, or print environment/config contents. Verify authentication through behavior such as a bounded nudocs list, not by inspecting the secret.
