remix-cli

name	remix-cli
description	Use the official Remix CLI for authentication, config inspection, game creation, uploads, and analytics. Trigger this skill when a task involves `remix login`, `remix whoami`, `.remix-cli.json`, `REMIX_API_KEY`, or terminal-based game management on Remix.

Remix Cli

Overview

Use the remix CLI for human-facing terminal workflows. Prefer it over handwritten REST calls when the task is local auth, config management, game creation, asset uploads, code uploads, or analytics inspection.

Quick Start

Install and authenticate:

curl -fsSL https://remix.gg/install.sh | bash
remix login
remix whoami
remix login <deviceCode>

Create and upload a game:

remix games create --name "My Game"
remix games icon upload ./icon.png
remix games versions code update --code-path ./game.html
remix games versions validate get

Output Modes

• --json forces machine-readable output.
• non-TTY stdout defaults to JSON.
• --quiet suppresses human-only status output and implies JSON-friendly output.

Use JSON mode for agent parsing and shell pipelines.

Config Model

• Project config lives in the nearest .remix-cli.json.
• Credentials live in ~/.config/remix/credentials.json.
• Legacy .remix-mcp.json can still be discovered, but new CLI config is .remix-cli.json.
• REMIX_API_URL overrides the API base URL for CLI commands.
• Runtime precedence is:
  1. explicit flags
  2. environment variables
  3. stored config and credentials
  4. defaults

Useful inspection commands:

remix config get
remix config where
remix whoami --json

Commands To Reach For

• Auth: remix login, remix whoami
• Config: remix config set|get|where
• Health: remix health get
• Games: remix games list|get|create
• Assets: remix games assets list|upload, remix games icon upload
• Metadata: remix metadata categories list, remix games categories set
• Versions: remix games versions list|get|code get|code update|thread get|status get|validate get
• Readiness: remix games launch-readiness get
• Analytics: remix games analytics overview get, remix games analytics shop get, remix games analytics leaderboard get
• Shop items: remix games items list|create|update|delete

Guardrails

• Reuse gameId and versionId from .remix-cli.json when present.
• Run remix whoami before debugging auth manually.
• If remix login is interrupted after it prints a device code, resume with remix login <deviceCode> instead of starting a second device-auth flow.
• Use remix games list only when the user explicitly wants their game list.
• Prefer remix games versions code update --code-path ... over constructing raw upload requests by hand.
• For local development against a non-production API, set remix config set --api-url http://localhost:3003.
