Prowl CLI

Use prowl only when the task is to inspect or control the running Prowl GUI app: read panes, check sibling agents, focus a pane, open a repo/path in Prowl, send text, send keys, or create/close panes and tabs. Do not use it merely because the current shell is inside the Prowl repo.

The authoritative per-command reference is Prowl's manual, components/cli.md under the docs folder. That folder is docs/ in a Prowl source checkout; otherwise it ships inside the app bundle, which you can locate from the installed CLI (normally /Applications/Prowl.app/Contents/Resources/docs):

prowl_docs="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$(command -v prowl)")")")/docs"
ls "$prowl_docs/components/"   # cli.md, agent-detection.md, workflows.md, …

Other docs/components/*.md references below live in that same folder.

This skill ships inside the app: prowl skills install prowl-cli links it into every detected agent skill folder (~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.agents/skills — whichever parent directories exist; add --target <claude|codex|agents> to pick or create specific ones) so it stays current across app updates. prowl skills list shows per-target status; the command is local and needs no running app.

Every Prowl pane exports its own identity to the processes inside it:
