Use when a task involves Halo CLI, Halo CMS command-line operations, or terminal-based Halo management. Also use when you need shared rules for profiles, JSON output, help discovery, config paths, and destructive actions. Trigger this skill whenever the user mentions 'halo', 'Halo CLI', or terminal operations for Halo CMS, even if the specific command area is not yet clear.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Halo CLI Shared

Start here when the task says "use Halo CLI" but does not yet say whether it is auth, content, search, operations, or moderation.

## Install And Verify

Install globally:

```bash
npm install -g @halo-dev/cli
```

Binary name:

```bash
halo
```

Check version and top-level help:

```bash
halo --version
halo --help
```

## Top-Level Areas

- `auth`
- `post`
- `single-page`
- `search`
- `plugin`
- `theme`
- `attachment`
- `backup`
- `moment`
- `comment`
- `notification`
- `shop` — Halo Pro/Commercial shop management
- `completion <shell>` — Generate shell completion script (bash, zsh, fish, powershell)

## Shared Rules

- Most command areas require an authenticated profile.
- Use `halo auth login` to create a profile.
- Use `--profile <name>` when more than one profile exists.
- Use `--json` when output is meant for automation or follow-up parsing.
- In non-interactive mode, dangerous commands usually require `--force`.
- Read `--help` before guessing flags for a specific command.

## Public vs Authenticated

Most areas require auth.

The main public workflow is `halo search`, which can use a direct site URL without login:

```bash
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add halo-dev/cli/halo-cli-shared@sha256:05818c9ecaaf166b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
