# Quickstart

> Create an API key and run your first Reposeek search from the terminal.

# Quickstart

Run your first Reposeek search in a few minutes.

## 1. Sign up

Create an account at [reposeek.ai](https://reposeek.ai).

## 2. Create an API key

Open [reposeek.ai/dashboard/api-keys](https://reposeek.ai/dashboard/api-keys), create a key, and copy it immediately.

API keys are shown once when created. If you lose the full value, create or regenerate a key.

## 3. Install the CLI

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @reposeek/cli
```

## 4. Log in

```bash theme={null}
reposeek login
```

Paste the API key you created in the dashboard. The CLI stores it locally and does not print it back to the terminal.

## 5. Run a search

```bash theme={null}
reposeek search "local AI assistant that remembers screen activity" --limit 3
```

For CI, agents, or one-off commands where you do not want to save credentials locally, use the environment variable form instead:

```bash theme={null}
REPOSEEK_API_KEY="replace-me" npx @reposeek/cli@latest search "local AI assistant that remembers screen activity" --limit 3
```

`--limit` must be an integer from `1` to `10`. If omitted, Reposeek returns `3` results.

## 6. Inspect the response

```json theme={null}
{
  "request_id": "req_a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "results": [
    {
      "rank": 1,
      "repo": "Mirix-AI/MIRIX",
      "url": "https://github.com/Mirix-AI/MIRIX",
      "score": 0.80,
      "summary": "A multi-agent personal AI assistant that builds memory from screen observation, conversations, and multimodal inputs, with local privacy-first storage.",
      "stars": 3500,
      "forks": 300,
      "license": "Apache-2.0"
    }
  ]
}
```

Use `score`, `summary`, `stars`, and `license` to compare candidates. Then inspect the selected repo's docs or source before implementing.
