Use llamactl - a CLI tool for LlamaAgents

Use llamactl - a CLI tool for LlamaAgents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from run-llama/vibe-llama. It costs 51 tokens per session (575 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for turning LlamaIndex workflows into locally testable and deployable LlamaAgents. It can create a starter project, run a local development server, and manage cloud deployments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a LlamaAgents project, serve workflows as an API during development, run an optional frontend, and deploy or manage the workflow in the cloud.
Why use it?
It provides a standard way to initialize, preview, and deploy workflow-based applications instead of setting up each project manually. It requires the relevant LlamaIndex packages and a supported Python and Node.js setup.

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

Use llamactl - a CLI tool for LlamaAgents 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 11d 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.

Use llamactl - a CLI tool for LlamaAgents

llamactl is a CLI tool for developing and deploying LlamaIndex workflows as LlamaAgents. It provides commands to initialize projects, run local development servers, and manage cloud deployments.

Prerequisites

Before using llamactl, ensure you have:

  • uv - Python package manager and build tool
  • Node.js - Required for UI development (supports npm, pnpm, or yarn)
  • llama-index-workflows and llamactl installed in your environment

Installation

Install llamactl globally using uv:

uv tool install -U llamactl
llamactl --help

Or try it without installing:

uvx llamactl --help

Initialize a Project

Create a new LlamaAgents project with starter templates:

llamactl init

This creates a Python module with LlamaIndex workflows and an optional UI frontend. Configuration is managed in pyproject.toml, where you define workflow instances, environment settings, and UI build options.

Local Development

Start the local development server:

llamactl serve

This command:

  1. Installs dependencies
  2. Serves workflows as an API (configured in pyproject.toml)
  3. Starts the frontend development server

The server automatically detects file changes and can resume in-progress workflows.

Deploy to LlamaCloud

Push your code to a git repository:

git remote add origin https://github.com/org/repo
git add -A
git commit -m 'Set up new app'
git push -u origin main

Create a cloud deployment:

llamactl deployments create

This opens an interactive Terminal UI to configure:

  • Deployment name
  • Git repository (supports private GitHub repos via the LlamaDeploy GitHub app)
  • Git branch/tag/commit
  • Environment secrets

Manage Deployments

  • View deployment status: llamactl deployments get
  • Update secrets or branch: llamactl deployments edit
  • Deploy new version: llamactl deployments update

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.
