shadmin-cli

description

Use this skill when the user asks to query Shadmin admin platform resources (users, roles, menus, registered API resources) from a terminal — for example "list shadmin users", "show shadmin role detail", "dump shadmin menu tree", "what API endpoints does shadmin expose". The skill calls the `shadmin-cli` binary, which wraps the Shadmin REST API and inherits the logged-in user's RBAC permissions. Do NOT use this skill for write operations (create / update / delete) — the MVP exposes read-only commands only.

shadmin-cli skill

shadmin-cli is a thin Go CLI on top of the Shadmin REST API. It is designed to be driven by external AI agents.

• Authentication: username + password login → JWT cached locally (~/.shadmin/config.yaml, mode 0600).
• Authorization: every request reuses the logged-in user's existing RBAC. The CLI cannot bypass server-side permission checks.
• Output: JSON by default (stable, machine-readable). Pass --pretty for human-readable tables.
• Exit codes: 0 ok · 1 generic · 2 usage · 3 network · 4 unauthenticated / token expired · 5 permission denied (403) · 6 not found · 7 server error.

Prerequisites

1. The shadmin-cli binary is on $PATH.
2. The user has run shadmin-cli login at least once on this machine.
   • To check: run shadmin-cli whoami. Exit code 4 means not logged in.
3. The Shadmin server is reachable (default http://localhost:55667).

If the user is not logged in, ask for the server URL and username, then run:

shadmin-cli login --server <URL> -u <USERNAME>
# password prompted on TTY, or pipe via:
echo -n "$PASSWORD" | shadmin-cli login --server <URL> -u <USERNAME> --password-stdin

Command reference (MVP, read-only)

Command	Purpose
shadmin-cli login [--server URL] [-u U]	Cache JWT locally
shadmin-cli logout	Clear local tokens
shadmin-cli whoami	Current user profile
shadmin-cli users list [--page --page-size --keyword]	List users (paginated)
shadmin-cli users get <id>	Get user by id
shadmin-cli roles list	List roles
shadmin-cli roles get <id>	Get role by id
shadmin-cli menus tree	Menu tree (UI nav structure)
shadmin-cli menus list	Flat menu list
shadmin-cli menus get <id>	Get menu by id
shadmin-cli api-resources list	All API endpoints registered by backend

Global flags:

• --server URL overrides the saved server URL for this invocation.
• --json (default) / --pretty switch output format.
• SHADMIN_SERVER and SHADMIN_TOKEN env vars override config.

Response envelope

The CLI strips Shadmin's {code, msg, data} envelope and prints the inner data directly. List endpoints return either:

{ "list": [...], "total": N, "page": N, "page_size": N, "total_pages": N }

…or a plain array (e.g. roles list). api-resources list uses items instead of list. Inspect the JSON shape before parsing.

Error handling guidance

• Exit 4 → token expired or missing. Ask the user to re-run shadmin-cli login and retry.
• Exit 5 → the logged-in user lacks RBAC permission for that API. Do not retry; report the permission gap to the user.
• Exit 3 → network failure. Verify the server URL and retry once.
• Exit 6 → the requested id does not exist. Surface the error verbatim.

Safety

• Write operations (create / update / delete) are NOT exposed in this MVP. If the user asks for one, refuse and explain.
• The CLI uses the same permissions as the logged-in user. Do not assume an agent context implies elevated access.
