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

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:

halo auth login \
  --profile local \
  --url http://127.0.0.1:8090 \
  --auth-type bearer \
  --token <token>

Login with basic auth:

halo auth login \
  --profile local \
  --url http://127.0.0.1:8090 \
  --auth-type basic \
  --username admin \
  --password <password>

Inspect and switch profiles:

halo auth current
halo auth profile list
halo auth profile use production
halo auth profile get production --json

Diagnose broken credentials:

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.
