Resend CLI 2.0
Summary
Resend CLI 2.0 gives terminal-based access to the full Resend API and adds four features: sending emails from local React (.tsx/.jsx) files, managing automations and events, one-command webhook listening with automatic tunneling, and Agent Skills for autonomous API interaction. Users can now create automation runs, inspect results, and build multi-step workflows directly from the command line. The webhook listener automatically sets up a tunnel and forwards all event types to a local server, eliminating the need for separate tunneling tools. Agent Skills provide a structured interface enabling AI agents to independently manage their own inbox, sign up for accounts, receive confirmation emails, process attachments, and respond without manual intervention. Other improvements include programmatic log retrieval, enhanced API key storage via the system keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Storage, Windows Credential Manager), and the deprecation of the team command in favor of auth.
