Halo CLI Operations

Use this skill for halo theme, halo plugin, halo attachment, halo backup, and halo moment.

Commands

halo theme --help
halo plugin --help
halo attachment --help
halo backup --help
halo moment --help

Themes

halo theme list
halo theme current
halo theme get <name>

halo theme activate <name>
halo theme reload <name>
halo theme upgrade <name>
halo theme upgrade <name> --online
halo theme upgrade --all --online --yes
halo theme delete <name> --force

Rules:

• theme list marks the active theme in table output.
• Local theme install uses --file.
• theme install --url and theme upgrade --url prompt for confirmation when the remote host is not www.halo.run; use --yes to bypass that prompt in automation or other non-interactive runs.
• App Store upgrades use --online. upgrade --all --online --yes upgrades all themes from the App Store without prompting.

halo plugin disable <name> --force
halo plugin upgrade <name>
halo plugin upgrade <name> --online
halo plugin upgrade --all --online --yes
halo plugin uninstall <name> --force

Rules:

• Install from the Halo App Store with --app-id.
• App Store upgrades use --online. upgrade --all --online --yes upgrades all plugins from the App Store without prompting.
• plugin install --url and plugin upgrade --url prompt for confirmation when the remote host is not www.halo.run; use --yes to bypass that prompt in automation or other non-interactive runs.
• Treat disable, upgrade, and uninstall as mutating operations.

halo backup download <name> --output ./backup.zip
halo backup delete <name> --force

• --expires-at sets an expiration time in ISO-8601 format.

Moments

Safety And Automation

• Use --force for destructive non-interactive actions.
• Prefer list or get before batch or destructive maintenance.
