macOS

Slate CLI

Manage your preproduction workspace from the terminal. Projects, scripts, media, packaging, and research — all without leaving your editor.

curl -fsSL https://useslate.app/api/v1/cli/install | sh

What you can do

Projects

Create, list, search, and manage video projects from the terminal.

Scripts

Draft and edit scripts without leaving your editor workflow.

Media Library

Semantic clip search, cloud folder sync, and fast media indexing.

Packaging

Manage title and thumbnail combos for every video.

YouTube Research

Search videos, fetch transcripts, and browse channel data.

Chat

Interact with Slate AI directly from your terminal.

Integrations

Connect and manage Dropbox, Google Drive, and YouTube.

Diagnostics

Run slate doctor to verify auth, API connectivity, and permissions.

Faster media library indexing

Link your Dropbox or Google Drive folders and sync them from the CLI. Semantic search indexes your clips so you can find the right b-roll by describing what you need — directly from the terminal.

Works with OpenClaw

Slate ships as an OpenClaw skill. Delegate content creation tasks — project setup, script drafts, packaging, and research — to your OpenClaw agent.

Install the skill:

cp -r skill/ ~/.openclaw/skills/slate

The skill declares requires.bins: ["slate"], so OpenClaw will detect the CLI automatically once installed. Your agent can then create projects, write scripts, search your media library, and manage packaging — all autonomously.

Getting started

1. Install the CLI with the command above

2. Run slate auth login to authenticate with your Slate account

3. Run slate doctor to verify everything works
