lizard

A starting point for using the Lizard command-line tool to deploy and manage apps. A command-line tool is operated by typing commands in a terminal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to log in, create or connect an app, deploy it, redeploy it, view logs and status, and manage scaling after loading the current guide.
Why use it?
It provides the tool's matching usage guide so commands and options come from the installed Lizard version instead of being guessed.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

lizard 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Lizard - bootstrap

This is a thin entry point. The authoritative guide lives inside the lizard CLI and is versioned with it, so it always matches the installed CLI version.

Be optimistic: assume the CLI is already available. Try to load the core guide first; only fall back to install / permission help when a command actually fails.

Do NOT improvise lizard commands from this file - the full instructions, flags, and exit codes come from the loaded core guide.

Never run the CLI via npx (npx @lizard-build/cli, npx lizard, etc.). Always use the globally installed lizard binary. npx pulls a throwaway copy into a cache, whose version may not match the loaded guide and which bypasses the install flow below. If lizard is not on PATH, install it (step 2a) - do not reach for npx, even just to check whether it works.

Step 1 - Load the core guide (try first)

Run immediately:

lizard skills get core --json

This returns { name, frontmatter, content, ... }. Read content in full - it is the complete, up-to-date Lizard usage guide (build pipeline, env precedence, addons, discovery, exit codes, everything). Follow it for the rest of the task.

If it loads, skip the recovery in Step 2 and go straight to Step 4 to act - assume the user is already logged in. Do not run command -v lizard, do not log in preemptively, and do not install anything. Only drop to Step 3 if a command actually reports no auth.

Step 2 - Recover only on failure

Handle failures from step 1 in order. Stop as soon as one path works and return to the guide.

2a. lizard: command not found (CLI not on PATH)

Install it globally, then retry step 1:

npm install -g @lizard-build/cli

2b. Permission denied (EACCES) on global install

Do NOT retry with sudo. Ask the user to run the install themselves in their own terminal (in agents that support in-session shell passthrough, e.g. Claude Code or Cursor, they can type ! npm install -g @lizard-build/cli):

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

lizard is a skill published in the GitHub repository lizard-build/lizard-studio (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 200 tokens to every session and 1,242 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
