This reference is generated from the same canonical source distributed as cockpit CLI help. See [Cockpit CLI](/en/tools/cockpit/docs/cockpit-cli) for concepts and safe operating guidance.

Inspect local setup and perform explicit managed installation actions.

```bash
cockpit setup status
cockpit setup agent status [claude|codex|antigravity|cursor|qoder|grok]
cockpit setup cli install
cockpit setup cli uninstall --confirm
cockpit setup skill status [cockpit|html-mode|fleet]
cockpit setup skill install <skill> (--agent <agent> ... | --detected)
cockpit setup skill uninstall <html-mode|fleet> --confirm
```

`cli install` and `cli uninstall` edit the user's shell startup file on macOS and Linux and the user `PATH` on Windows. `cli uninstall --confirm` removes the very `cockpit` command the calling agent is using, so the next invocation fails until it is reinstalled from Settings.

Skill installation requires explicit agent targets or `--detected`; uninstallation takes no agent filter and removes that skill from every agent that has it. Installation and uninstallation require Cockpit's ownership marker and refuse directories with user content. Exact legacy files generated by Cockpit are migrated to the marker on their next installation; only operating-system metadata such as `.DS_Store` is ignored. Cockpit's core skill is not uninstallable through this command. Setup status reads secure-storage health without running migration. Agent status is read-only and returns command, installed version, available version when supported, and changelog URL.
