What is Halo CLI Auth?
Halo CLI Auth is a specialized skill designed to streamline the authentication lifecycle within the Halo ecosystem. It serves as the foundational layer for developers and operators using Openclaw Skills, ensuring that secure communication is established before executing content or operational commands.
The skill provides a robust interface for managing multiple environments through a profile-based system. It abstracts the complexity of handling both basic and bearer token authentication, allowing users to switch contexts between local development and production environments effortlessly while maintaining security by leveraging the system keyring for sensitive data.
Halo CLI Auth Use Cases
- Establishing initial authentication with a Halo instance using bearer tokens or credentials.
- Managing multiple environment configurations via named profiles (e.g., local vs. production).
- Switching active profiles during multi-stage deployment workflows.
- Troubleshooting and fixing corrupted keyring credentials or expired tokens using diagnostic tools.
- Automating secure login processes in non-interactive CI/CD pipelines.
How Halo CLI Auth Works
- The user initiates a login request defining the profile name, instance URL, and authentication strategy (basic or bearer).
- Sensitive credentials are securely offloaded to the host system's keyring, while non-sensitive metadata is stored in the local config.
- The skill validates the connection and establishes the 'current' active profile for subsequent CLI operations.
- Users can inspect, list, or switch between stored profiles to route commands to different Halo instances.
- If authentication fails, the doctor workflow identifies and rectifies credential or keyring mismatches.
Halo CLI Auth Setup
Ensure you have the halo binary installed on your system. This skill is optimized for use within the Openclaw Skills framework.
# Verify halo installation
halo --version
# Initialize a local profile with a bearer token
halo auth login \
--profile local \
--url http://127.0.0.1:8090 \
--auth-type bearer \
--token <your_token>
Halo CLI Auth Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages data across two primary layers to ensure security and portability:
| Data Type | Storage Location | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Profile Metadata | Local Config File | Profile names, Instance URLs, Auth types |
| Secrets | System Keyring | Bearer tokens, Passwords, API keys |
| Active Context | Environment/Config | Current active profile pointer |
Use halo auth profile get <name> --json to retrieve structured metadata for integration with other tools.
Halo CLI Auth Advanced Features
- Multi-profile support for managing disparate Halo instances simultaneously.
- Keyring integration to prevent plain-text credential storage in configuration files.
- Automated diagnostic 'doctor' command to identify and fix authentication drift.
- JSON output flags for piping profile data into other Openclaw Skills or automation scripts.
- Force-deletion and non-interactive overrides for headless environment management.
