A command-line tool skill for managing Halo blog instances.

npm install -g @halo-dev/cliVerify:
halo --version
halo --helpRequirements: Node.js >= 22
Quick Start
- Authenticate (see references/auth.md):
halo auth login --profile local --url http://127.0.0.1:8090 --auth-type bearer --token <token>- Create a post from Markdown (see content.md for full format rules):
halo post import-markdown --file ./article.md --forceMarkdown files are automatically converted to HTML by default; if conversion fails, falls back to raw Markdown import.
- List posts:
halo post listCommand Areas

Shared Conventions
- Profile selection: Use
--profile <name>when working with multiple Halo instances. - JSON output: Use
--jsonfor scripted or automated workflows. - Non-interactive safety: Destructive commands (
delete,uninstall, overwrite imports) usually require--forcewhen run non-interactively. - Basic Auth requirement: If using basic auth instead of bearer token, ensure Halo is started with
--halo.security.basic-auth.disabled=false.
Common Workflows
Switch between environments
halo auth profile list
halo auth profile use productionExport and import a post
halo post export-json my-post --output ./post.json
halo post import-json --file ./post.json --forcePublish via Markdown file
halo post import-markdown --file ./article.md --forceUpgrade all App Store themes/plugins
halo theme upgrade --all
halo plugin upgrade --all --yesSearch public content without login
halo search --keyword "halo" --url https://www.halo.runTroubleshooting
- Login fails with anonymous user: Basic auth is likely disabled on the Halo server. Add
--halo.security.basic-auth.disabled=falseto Halo startup flags. - Credential issues: Run
halo auth profile doctorto diagnose keyring/config problems. - Profile not found: Ensure
--profilematches an existing profile fromhalo auth profile list.
