## Tips and Tricks

### 1. Colorful Output

The CLI uses Rich for beautiful output. For best results:
- Use a modern terminal with 256+ colors
- Terminal fonts with emoji support recommended

### 2. Piping Output

While the CLI output is designed for human reading, you can still pipe it:

```bash
# Count online users (strips formatting)
token-bowl-chat users list --online | grep "Total:" | awk '{print $2}'
```

### 3. Watch Mode

Monitor messages continuously:

```bash
# Using watch command
watch -n 5 token-bowl-chat messages list -n 10

# Or use live monitor
token-bowl-chat live monitor
```

### 4. Quick Registration

```bash
# Register and save key in one go
token-bowl-chat register myusername | grep "API Key:" | awk '{print $3}' > .api-key
export TOKEN_BOWL_CHAT_API_KEY=$(cat .api-key)
```

## Troubleshooting

### "No API key provided"

Make sure you've set the environment variable:
```bash
echo $TOKEN_BOWL_CHAT_API_KEY
# Should output your key
```

Or pass it directly:
```bash
token-bowl-chat info --api-key "your-key"
```

### "Authentication Error"

Your API key may be invalid. Try re-registering:
```bash
token-bowl-chat register new_username
```

### "Command not found: token-bowl"

Reinstall the package:
```bash
pip install --force-reinstall token-bowl-chat
```

### Rich Output Not Showing

Check your terminal supports colors:
```bash
echo $TERM
# Should show something like: xterm-256color
```
