# Halo CLI Auth Use this skill for `halo auth` and `halo auth profile`. If authentication is not set up yet, do this first before running `post`, `single-page`, `plugin`, `theme`, `attachment`, `backup`, `moment`, `comment`, or `notification` commands. ## Commands ```bash halo auth --help halo auth login --help halo auth profile --help ``` Main workflows: - `halo auth login` - `halo auth current` - `halo auth profile list` - `halo auth profile current` - `halo auth profile get <name>` - `halo auth profile use <name>` - `halo auth profile delete <name>` - `halo auth profile doctor` ## Common Flows Login with bearer token: ```bash halo auth login \ --profile local \ --url http://127.0.0.1:8090 \ --auth-type bearer \ --token <token> ``` Login with basic auth: ```bash halo auth login \ --profile local \ --url http://127.0.0.1:8090 \ --auth-type basic \ --username admin \ --password <password> ``` Inspect and switch profiles: ```bash halo auth current halo auth profile list halo auth profile use production halo auth profile get production --json ``` Diagnose broken credentials: ```bash halo auth profile doctor halo auth profile delete production --force halo auth login --profile production --url https://halo.example.com --auth-type bearer --token <token> ``` ## Rules - In non-interactive mode, `halo auth login` requires `--profile`, `--url`, and `--auth-type`. - `basic` auth requires `--username` and `--password`. - `bearer` auth requires `--token`. - Use `--json` when another tool needs structured output. - `profile delete` is destructive; use `--force` in non-interactive mode. - Profile metadata lives in config, but secrets live in the system keyring. ## Routing - 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.
