Halo Cli

Use when the task is to operate Halo CLI in general, or may involve login, profiles, posts, single pages, search, plugins, themes, attachments, backups, mome...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only router for an existing 'halo' CLI and its requirements and instructions align with that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description map directly to the actions in SKILL.md (routing for Halo CLI sub-areas). The only declared runtime requirement is the 'halo' binary, which is appropriate and expected for this skill.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains CLI usage guidance and routing to domain-specific Halo subskills; it does not instruct the agent to read unrelated files, exfiltrate data, call external endpoints, or access environment variables beyond normal CLI usage. It does advise preference for authenticated profiles and flags for destructive operations, which is reasonable for a CLI operator.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files; this is instruction-only and therefore does not write code to disk or download executables. Lowest-risk install posture.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The guidance references authenticated profiles, but that is consistent with expected behavior of a CLI operator and does not itself demand credentials from the skill.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent privileges or modify other skills' configurations. Agent autonomous invocation is allowed by default but that is normal for skills and not concerning here by itself.

Assessment

This skill is a thin router that tells an agent how to call your local 'halo' CLI. Before enabling: confirm you have a legitimate, up-to-date 'halo' binary from a trusted source; be aware that when the agent runs halo commands it will act with whatever local profiles/credentials are present (so avoid giving the agent elevated profiles you don't want used); watch for destructive flags like --force and review commands the agent proposes before allowing execution.

This is the routing skill for the Halo CLI skill set.

If the request only says "use Halo CLI" or mixes multiple areas, start here, then jump to the domain skill that matches the task.

Skill Map

• halo-cli-shared: shared rules, top-level command map, profiles, JSON output, destructive-action conventions
• halo-cli-auth: login, profile setup, profile switching, keyring and credential repair
• halo-cli-content: posts and single pages
• halo-cli-search: public site search
• halo-cli-operations: themes, plugins, attachments, backups, moments
• halo-cli-moderation-notifications: comments, replies, notifications

Fast Routing

Use these commands to identify the right area:

halo --help
halo auth --help
halo post --help
halo single-page --help
halo search --help
halo plugin --help
halo theme --help
halo attachment --help
halo backup --help
halo moment --help
halo comment --help
halo notification --help

Shared Defaults

• Prefer an authenticated profile unless the task is public halo search --url.
• Use --profile <name> when the environment matters.
• Use --json for automation.
• Use --force carefully for destructive non-interactive operations.
