halo-cli-shared is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from halo-dev/cli. It costs 80 tokens per session (578 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Shared instructions for Halo CLI, a terminal program for managing Halo websites and content. They cover login profiles, JSON output, command discovery, configuration, and safeguards for risky actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them as the starting point for Halo CLI tasks, especially when selecting a profile, checking command help, automating output, or confirming a potentially destructive command.
Why use it?
They provide the common rules needed before using Halo's separate commands for posts, pages, plugins, themes, backups, or other site operations. They also clarify which public searches can work without login.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

halo-cli-shared scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually 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:

npm install -g @halo-dev/cli

Binary name:

halo

Check version and top-level help:

halo --version
halo --help

Top-Level Areas

  • auth
  • post
  • single-page
  • search
  • plugin
  • theme
  • attachment
  • backup
  • moment
  • comment
  • notification
  • 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:

halo search --keyword "halo" --url https://www.halo.run

Config And Secrets

Profile metadata is stored in:

  • $HALO_CLI_CONFIG_DIR/config.json if HALO_CLI_CONFIG_DIR is set
  • otherwise $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/halo/config.json
  • otherwise ~/.config/halo/config.json

Credentials are stored in the system keyring.

Routing

  • Use halo-cli-auth for login, current profile, profile list/use/delete, and credential repair.
  • Use halo-cli-content for posts and single pages.
  • Use halo-cli-search for public site search.
  • Use halo-cli-operations for themes, plugins, attachments, backups, and moments.
  • Use halo-cli-moderation-notifications for comments, replies, and notifications.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
