# Send Tailscale to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Tailscale Skill

Hybrid skill using CLI for local operations and API for tailnet-wide management.

### Setup

API config (optional, for tailnet-wide operations): ~/.clawdbot/credentials/tailscale/config.json

{
  "apiKey": "tskey-api-k...",
  "tailnet": "-"
}

Get your API key from: Tailscale Admin Console → Settings → Keys → Generate API Key

The tailnet can be - (auto-detect), your org name, or email domain.

### Local Operations (CLI)

These work on the current machine only.

### Status & Diagnostics

# Current status (peers, connection state)
tailscale status
tailscale status --json | jq '.Peer | to_entries[] | {name: .value.HostName, ip: .value.TailscaleIPs[0], online: .value.Online}'

# Network diagnostics (NAT type, DERP, UDP)
tailscale netcheck
tailscale netcheck --format=json

# Get this machine's Tailscale IP
tailscale ip -4

# Identify a Tailscale IP
tailscale whois 100.x.x.x

### Connectivity

# Ping a peer (shows direct vs relay)
tailscale ping <hostname-or-ip>

# Connect/disconnect
tailscale up
tailscale down

# Use an exit node
tailscale up --exit-node=<node-name>
tailscale exit-node list
tailscale exit-node suggest

### File Transfer (Taildrop)

# Send files to a device
tailscale file cp myfile.txt <device-name>:

# Receive files (moves from inbox to directory)
tailscale file get ~/Downloads
tailscale file get --wait ~/Downloads  # blocks until file arrives

### Expose Services

# Share locally within tailnet (private)
tailscale serve 3000
tailscale serve https://localhost:8080

# Share publicly to internet
tailscale funnel 8080

# Check what's being served
tailscale serve status
tailscale funnel status

### SSH

# SSH via Tailscale (uses MagicDNS)
tailscale ssh user@hostname

# Enable SSH server on this machine
tailscale up --ssh

### Tailnet-Wide Operations (API)

These manage your entire tailnet. Requires API key.

### List All Devices

./scripts/ts-api.sh devices

# With details
./scripts/ts-api.sh devices --verbose

### Device Details

./scripts/ts-api.sh device <device-id-or-name>

### Check Online Status

# Quick online check for all devices
./scripts/ts-api.sh online

### Authorize/Delete Device

./scripts/ts-api.sh authorize <device-id>
./scripts/ts-api.sh delete <device-id>

### Device Tags & Routes

./scripts/ts-api.sh tags <device-id> tag:server,tag:prod
./scripts/ts-api.sh routes <device-id>

### Auth Keys

# Create a reusable auth key
./scripts/ts-api.sh create-key --reusable --tags tag:server

# Create ephemeral key (device auto-removes when offline)
./scripts/ts-api.sh create-key --ephemeral

# List keys
./scripts/ts-api.sh keys

### DNS Management

./scripts/ts-api.sh dns                 # Show DNS config
./scripts/ts-api.sh dns-nameservers     # List nameservers
./scripts/ts-api.sh magic-dns on|off    # Toggle MagicDNS

### ACLs

./scripts/ts-api.sh acl                 # Get current ACL
./scripts/ts-api.sh acl-validate <file> # Validate ACL file

### Common Use Cases

"Who's online right now?"

./scripts/ts-api.sh online

"Send this file to my phone"

tailscale file cp document.pdf my-phone:

"Expose my dev server publicly"

tailscale funnel 3000

"Create a key for a new server"

./scripts/ts-api.sh create-key --reusable --tags tag:server --expiry 7d

"Is the connection direct or relayed?"

tailscale ping my-server
