YouMind CLI Skill

Interact with the YouMind API to manage boards, crafts, notes, picks, and other content through the youmind CLI.

Installation

npm install -g @youmind-ai/cli

To verify installation: youmind (should print usage info).

If the command is not found, install it first before proceeding.

Authentication

Set the API key as environment variable:

export YOUMIND_API_KEY=sk-ym-xxx

Or pass per-command with --api-key sk-ym-xxx.

Commands

Three commands following a discover → inspect → execute workflow:

1. Search — Discover Available APIs

youmind search [query]

• Without query: list all available API endpoints
• With query: filter APIs by name or description (e.g., search board, search craft)
• Output: JSON array of { name, summary } objects

2. Info — Inspect API Schema

youmind info <name>

• Returns the full schema including request body and response schema
• All $ref references are resolved inline
• Use this to understand required parameters before calling an API

3. Call — Execute an API

youmind call <name> [params]

Requires authentication. Three ways to pass parameters:

# Key-value pairs
youmind call createBoard --name "My Board"

# JSON string
youmind call createBoard '{"name":"My Board"}'

# Stdin pipe
echo '{"name":"My Board"}' | youmind call createBoard

Workflow

To accomplish a task with the YouMind API:

1. Search for relevant APIs: youmind search <keyword>
2. Inspect the API schema: youmind info <apiName>
3. Call the API with correct parameters: youmind call <apiName> [params]

Example: Create a board and add a note

# Find board-related APIs
youmind search board

# Check createBoard schema
youmind info createBoard

# Create the board
youmind call createBoard --name "Research Notes"

# Find note APIs and create a note
youmind search note
youmind info createNote
youmind call createNote '{"title":"First Note","boardId":"..."}'
