brew install tailspin

“Install tailspin with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read tailspin --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update tailspin and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run tailspin on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs tailspin there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install tailspin first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install tailspin for you.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
