Indices

Use this skill for any operation with the Indices CLI — authentication, tasks, runs, and secrets.

Indices CLI

Global Flags

Available on every command:

• --output markdown|json (default: markdown) — use json for scripting
• --api-base <url> (default: https://api.indices.io)
• --timeout <seconds> (default: 30)

---

Auth

bash

indices login                          # prompts securely for API key
indices login --api-key "<key>"        # non-interactive
indices auth-test                      # verify stored credentials
indices logout                         # remove stored API key

---

Tasks

Create

bash

indices tasks create \
  --display-name "Apply to jobs" \
  --website "https://jobs.example.com" \
  --task "Fill and submit the form"

Never set is_fully_autonomous to true.

After creation, the task requires manual completion in a browser. Direct the user to https://platform.indices.io/tasks/{task_id} (substituting the actual task ID).

Flags: --display-name (required), --website (required), --task (required), --input-schema, --output-schema, --creation-params <json-object>

JSON input (alternative to flags)

bash

indices tasks create --body '{"display_name":"...","website":"...","task":"..."}'
indices tasks create --file ./task.json
cat task.json | indices tasks create

Rules: use at most one of --body, --file, --stdin; do not mix with argument-mode flags.

List / Get / Retry / Regenerate / Delete

bash

indices tasks list
indices tasks list --status ready --limit 20   # statuses: not_ready | waiting_for_manual_completion | ready | failed
indices tasks get <task-uuid>
indices tasks retry <task-uuid>
indices tasks regenerate-api <task-uuid>
indices tasks delete <task-uuid>               # prompts for confirmation
indices tasks delete <task-uuid> --yes

Note: --cursor is unsupported and returns an error.

---

Runs

Create

bash

indices runs create \
  --task-id "<task-uuid>" \
  --arguments '{"key":"value"}' \
  --secret-bindings '{"login":"<secret-uuid>"}'

Flags: --task-id (required), --arguments <json-object>, --secret-bindings <json-object>

JSON input follows the same rules as tasks create.

List / Get

bash

indices runs list --task-id <task-uuid>        # --task-id required
indices runs list --task-id <task-uuid> --limit 20
indices runs get <run-uuid>

---

Secrets

bash

indices secrets create MY_SECRET --value "..."   # explicit value
echo "..." | indices secrets create MY_SECRET --stdin
indices secrets create MY_SECRET                 # prompts securely
indices secrets list
indices secrets delete <secret-uuid>             # prompts for confirmation
indices secrets delete <secret-uuid> --yes

Empty secret values are rejected.
