reolink-cli AGENTS.md

reolink-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from reolink/reolink-cli. It costs 3,721 tokens per session, scanned D, original, Apache-2.0.

Installation and setup instructions for an AI agent that operates Reolink cameras through the reolink-cli command-line tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to verify the Reolink command-line tools, start the camera gateway, add a camera for the first time, check installed versions, and troubleshoot setup problems.
Why use it?
They help catch missing programs, unreachable services, and unloaded instructions before camera tasks begin. They also explain what to do when setup fails.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

reolink-cli AGENTS.md scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 275 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Read this when an AI agent first encounters the plugin. Your job is to confirm the install, then operate cameras via the skill.

If the binaries are not on disk yet, the one-line installer fetches them and verifies the download against the checksum committed to this repository:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reolink/reolink-cli/main/install.sh | sh

What you (the AI) should do, in order:

  1. Part 1 — Verify the install (binaries on PATH, gateway reachable).
  2. Part 2 — Confirm the skill is loaded for your agent surface.
  3. Part 3–4 — Start the gateway and (first time only) add a camera.
  4. Part 5 — Echo installed versions back to the user.

If any step fails, do not silently continue — see Part 6 — Troubleshooting and surface the remedy.


Part 1 — Verify CLI install

Both binaries should be at ~/.local/bin/ (or %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin\ on Windows).

reolink-cli --version
command -v reolink-gateway

If command not found, the install prefix isn't on PATH:

# Unix
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
# Windows PowerShell
$env:PATH += ";$HOME\.local\bin"

To upgrade, run reolink-cli self-update (macOS and Linux). It checks the latest release, replaces both binaries in place, and is a no-op when already current. On Windows it exits with the download link instead: the archive is a .zip and a running .exe cannot be replaced in place, so upgrade there by extracting the new archive and running install.ps1.

Re-running the one-line installer is an equivalent upgrade path on any platform, and is idempotent — it overwrites both binaries in place.


Part 2 — Confirm the skill is loaded

The plugin tree (SKILL.md, slash commands, skill references) is already on disk after the install. How your agent surface sees it depends on the agent:

Agent Skill path
Claude Code ~/.claude/plugins/cache/reolink-cli/reolink-cli/<version>/ (auto-loaded by /plugin install)
Codex Symlinked into ~/.agents/skills/reolink-cli by setup-codex on first install
Gemini CLI GEMINI.md next to this file is treated as agent context
Cursor / Windsurf .cursor-plugin/ next to this file is auto-detected on workspace open
Other Read skills/reolink-cli/SKILL.md next to this file as a system rule

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

reolink-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository reolink/reolink-cli (93 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 3,721 tokens to every session, about $0.0186 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
