## What it does

The skill installs CLI-Anything, an agent-native wrapper around the Mailchimp Marketing API v3.0. It exposes 303 commands across 30 resource groups: audiences and members, campaigns, reports, automations, e-commerce, templates, landing pages, SMS campaigns, surveys. Command names mirror the API paths, so something like `lists create-lists-id-members` reads like the docs.

Any command takes `--json` at the root level and pipes cleanly into `jq` — pull audience names, campaign ids, click stats. Run the binary with no arguments and you get an interactive REPL instead. Responses keep the native Mailchimp envelope, so pick the key that matches the resource.

You need Python 3.10+ and a `MAILCHIMP_API_KEY` environment variable holding the key with its datacenter suffix, such as `abc123-us8`. Drop the suffix and API calls fail, which is the first thing to check when `ping` comes back empty.
