Topics commands

Signatures, flags and examples for recala topics.

On this page

Use these commands

The topic queue: what Recala proposes to write next.

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.
