AI-powered HR — now in your terminal.

abrd is the agent CLI for Aboard, the AI-powered HR platform from Teamtailor. It gives Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any other coding assistant a single command they can shell out to in order to read and write your Aboard HR data — on your behalf, with your token, never on a server you don't control.

  $ abrd whoami
  → emil@teamtailor.com

  $ abrd meetings list --next
  → Mon 10:00   1:1 with Lisa
  → Wed 14:00   1:1 with Anders

  $ abrd time-off --team
  → Anna   on PTO   Jun 3 – Jun 7
  → Ravi   on PTO   Jun 10

Pair abrd with the aboard agent skill and your assistant can answer "draft an agenda for my next 1:1 with Lisa," "who's on PTO next week," or "summarise my team's last review cycle" without leaving the chat.

Install

brew tap Teamtailor/aboard
brew install abrd
abrd auth login

That last command opens app.aboardhr.com/settings/cli-tokens/authorize in your browser. Click Authorize, and you're done.

Update with brew upgrade abrd.

What you get

• A single static binary — no Node, no Python, no build tools.
• Personal-token auth — your CLI talks to api.aboardhr.com as you, scoped to your account. No service accounts, no shared keys.
• Local-only — there's no Aboard-hosted MCP server in this loop. The binary lives on your machine; your agent shells out to it.
• Read- and write-safe — every write stops to confirm. The agent never sends an email or schedules a meeting without your nod.

Available on macOS (Apple silicon) and Linux (x86_64). Windows binaries available from the releases.
