# OpenArtifacts

Use `openartifacts` as the command prefix when it is installed. Otherwise use
`npx --yes openartifacts@latest`; do not require another package install first.
Do not read OpenArtifacts config files, look for credentials, or print
`OPENARTIFACTS_TOKEN`.

- Publish Markdown or HTML: `openartifacts publish <file>`
- List documents: `openartifacts list`
- Fetch current HTML: `openartifacts get <docId>`
- Withdraw a document: `openartifacts unshare <docId>`
- List machine tokens: `openartifacts tokens`
- Revoke one: `openartifacts revoke <tokenId>`
- Sign in again after an `unauthorized` response: `openartifacts login`

The first authenticated command may wait for approval. Relay both sign-in URLs and the user code printed by the CLI, then keep waiting; never ask the user to copy a token. Return the public URL printed by `publish`.

Publishing the same local file again updates its existing document. If an update returns `not_found`, stop and report it; do not create a replacement.

Markdown files use ordinary Markdown rendering. Obsidian wikilinks, embeds, and callouts are not expanded and will appear as literal text.

If the user explicitly wants a new link after an update returns `not_found`, ask for confirmation, run `openartifacts unshare <oldDocId>` to forget the stale local mapping, then publish the file again. Never take that recovery path automatically.

If publishing returns `quota_exceeded`, show the error and advise the user to wait for the current quota window or remove an unused document, as appropriate. Do not blindly retry. If publishing returns `limit_reached`, show its limit and upgrade link when present, and retry only after the user confirms the limit was changed.
