CLI REFERENCE

Skills commands

Signatures, flags and examples for recala skills.

Use these commands

The agent skills that ship with the CLI.

Examples assume you have signed in and selected the intended organization. Set shell variables such as ARTICLE_ID to ids from the corresponding list command. Set PUBLICATION_TIME to a future local time in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM format.

Badges describe the command’s strongest effect; a preview or read-only option may do less. Guarded writes can require confirmation even without --yes. “Needs a person” covers identity, consent and credentials.

`recala skills install`

Copy every skill (with the CLI contract as a reference) into --dir.
