# Vidbyte Auth

Authenticate your local Vidbyte CLI with a Vidbyte platform account.

## Instructions

Tell the user you will authenticate the Vidbyte CLI. Then run the following command in a bash tool:

```
vidbyte-skills auth login
```

Report the output to the user. If it succeeds, the user is now authenticated and account-linked features are available. If it fails, report the error and suggest visiting https://vidbyte.pro/settings/api-keys to generate a new API key.

**Important:** Never ask the user to type or paste their API key into this chat. The CLI handles key input securely through a terminal prompt.
