@agentlink_contacts list
@agentlink_card show
@agentlink_status

Step 2: Start

npx @agentlink/cli start

Step 3: Share Contact

@agentlink_card format:link

Security Best Practices

✅ Recommendations

1. Start with trustLevel: ask for new contacts
2. Use structured data in messages
3. Check status before sending
4. Review permissions before approving

❌ What to Avoid

1. Never share your private key
2. Don't use trustLevel: trusted without verifying the agent
3. Don't approve requests without reviewing
4. Don't ignore security warnings

Troubleshooting

Agent cannot find the skill

# Check path
ls -la skills/agentlink/SKILL.md

# Check permissions
chmod 644 skills/agentlink/SKILL.md

Tools not available

# Check installation
npm list @dolutech/agent-link

# Reinstall if needed
npm install @dolutech/agent-link

Node is not running

# Check status
