Summary

The published install docs describe a CLI this repository had only partly implemented, on two branches that diverged from main (c1f1e6b). This PR is based on feat/agent-cli and targets main, so the unreleased agent commands land together with bulk skill upload.

feat/skills-without-tracing (64a6b09, the commit install.sh pins today) is not an ancestor of feat/agent-cli. Both branched from main. That shipped commit's behavior — skills-only init, auth --tracing, init --tracing, and leaving an earlier tracing setup alone — was reimplemented on feat/agent-cli (728afa0 and follow-ups), which also has slancha tracing status|on|off|config. I compared the shipped diff with the current init / auth / tracing code. Nothing from 64a6b09 is missing; tests/test_setup.py covers skills-only init, tracing opt-in, and the tracing commands.

Docs vs code

Reading of the spec: the --json and exit-code sentence applies to the agent-command table and to every slancha tracing command. auth, init, update, status, hook, and flush are specified in the first table without --json.

Command and flags	Docs	Result
auth --manage --tracing --no-browser --api	Sign in; manage asks for an agent token; tracing asks for keys and needs an admin; no-browser prints the link; api picks the API	Matches. Files land in ~/.config/slancha (token slancha_pat_…, config.json, tracing.json only after --tracing). A later skills-only sign-in removes tracing.json. The CLI uses the server's interval (default 5s) and expires_in (the product uses 10 minutes).
init --dry-run --tracing	Skills-only by default; --tracing also sets up tracing; dry-run changes nothing; safe to repeat; says which of claude, git, and (for tracing) uv / Python 3.10+ are missing	Matches. Skills-only init does not remove tracing configured earlier. Tracing warns on a hand-added Langfuse hook and on LANGFUSE_* in the shell.
init --check	Not on the install page	Extra. The installer runs it before sign-in. See docs follow-up.
update [skill] --dry-run --force	Install or update; no name updates installed skills and lists others; a skill waiting for review is "not published yet"; download checks (revision, X-Slancha-Sha256, manifest, 200 files / 256 KB / 2 MB, no links, no path escape); HTTPS only; no redirects; keep local edits unless --force (backup in .slancha-backup); mention /reload-skills	Matches. An installed skill that is no longer served now says "not published yet" as well, which previously only the not-yet-installed path said.
status	Token, API, installed skills, usage waiting to upload	Matches. It shows where the token comes from and its capabilities, never the secret.
tracing status	This machine's plugin and settings; with an agent token, what the workspace receives	Matches, including --json.
tracing on / off --project	User scope, or the current directory's gitignored .claude/settings.local.json	Matches.
tracing config --max-chars N --images on|off	Show or set; skill tags stay on	Matches. --max-chars must be a positive integer.
hook	Records skill use; never fails; one notice; ~/.cache/slancha/usage.jsonl; daily update notice	Matches.
flush	Uploads waiting reports; hooks start it in the background; drop lines older than about 29 days	Matches (29.5 days).
whoami, skills, skill, pending, review, jobs --skill, job --wait --cancel, scan --revision --wait, draft --new --project --description, outcomes --start --days, criteria --check | --revision	As the second table	Match, each with --json. Exit 0 / 1 / 2 / 3. job --wait and scan --wait exit 1 unless the job succeeded.
jobs newest first	Docs require it	The CLI now sorts by created_at, newest first. Rows without a timestamp stay at the end, in API order.
upload <dir|zip> --name	One folder or zip; starts the scan; reports criteria; exit 1 or 3 after Uploaded means stored; exit 1 there means the scan did not start	Matches for a single path, including --json as the API object (proposal_id means stored).
Upload limits	200 files, 256 KB each, 2 MB, no links, no path that leaves the folder	Directory uploads already enforced these. A zip is still sent as-is, and is now refused locally when it breaks the same limits. An encrypted zip entry is refused as encrypted, separately from a link.
Pending upload	A skill takes no other upload while one is waiting	A 409 used to surface as a raw HTTP error. The CLI now says the skill takes no other upload until that change is approved or rejected, and points at slancha pending <skill>. Exit code stays 1; --json stays {"error", "status": 409}.
outcomes --days	--days N	The CLI accepts 1–90, default 30. The install page does not say so. See docs follow-up.
update / status / hook / flush exit codes	The exit-code sentence sits with the agent and tracing commands	These four still always exit 0, including on a bad argument or an API error, so Claude Code can show the message. Not changed. See docs follow-up.
uninstall, Ctrl-C exit 130	Not on the install page	Extra. uninstall undoes init and auth. Ctrl-C exits 130.

No server behavior was invented. Scan still posts {} so the API scans the revision waiting for review, else the served one. Criteria check is the existing POST /api/skills/<skill>/criteria/check.

Bulk upload

slancha upload PATH [PATH ...] [--name N] [--dry-run] [--json]

• A path with SKILL.md at the top, or a .zip, is one skill.
• A directory with no SKILL.md is a folder of skills: each child directory that has SKILL.md, and each .zip, in name order. Hidden children are ignored. Anything else is skipped and named.
• Each skill goes through the existing single-skill package and POST /api/skills/upload. One failure does not stop the rest. The end is a per-skill summary.
• Exit code is 3 if any skill misses its acceptance criteria, else 1 if any skill failed, else 0. --name with more than one skill is a usage error (exit 2) and uploads nothing.
• A skill that already has a change waiting is not uploaded again. The summary says so, including when two paths in the same command are the same skill.
• --dry-run packages and validates locally, then calls the same criteria-check endpoint as slancha criteria <skill> --check. It does not upload. A pending skill is reported and still checked.
• --json for one skill path is unchanged (the API object). For more than one skill, or a folder of them, it is an array of {path, skill, exit, uploaded, dry_run, result|criteria|error, status}. One --dry-run of a single skill path is one object with dry_run and criteria.
• Name used when --name is omitted: a directory's SKILL.md frontmatter; a zip's single top folder, otherwise its SKILL.md name. That is the order POST /api/skills/upload uses.
• Limits are applied per skill, including zip contents: 200 files, 256 KB each, 2 MB total, no links, no absolute or .. path.

Tests

python -m unittest discover -s tests: 117 tests, OK on CPython 3.9.25 and 3.12.3. scripts/test.sh runs that suite in Docker (python:3.9-slim and python:3.12-slim); Docker is not available in this environment, so the same suite was run with uv's CPython 3.9.25 and the system 3.12.3.

Bulk upload covers a folder of skills (including a zip, with non-skills skipped), mixed success / criteria failure / bad path, pending conflicts (including two copies in one command), --json array vs one object, --dry-run (no upload POST, criteria checks, pending, bad bytes), --name refused for two skills, per-skill limits (size, symlink, zip slip, zip symlink, encrypted entry, 201 files), and a zip named by its folder when SKILL.md disagrees. A pass over every documented command runs against the fake API (whoami through flush, plus --help for auth, init, tracing, update, status).

scripts/e2e.sh (real Claude Code binary) was not run; it needs Docker. The CLI tests are subprocesses against the fake HTTP server, with HOME in a temp directory.

The installer flow was checked locally the way install.sh checks a download: the sha256 must match or the file is not installed; the ~/.local/bin/slancha wrapper runs the installed script (--help exits 0, upload with no path exits 2).

Installer pin for slancha-app

scripts/slancha.py on this branch (88906399695aefbe4bed5fcad21422014383a5ed):

381880d810fdad1233d4781da5c8acc8649b14eabe356a7cfb80be814e393fdd

The digest is of the file bytes, so it stays valid for any commit that contains this exact file (this commit, or the merge commit on main once this lands). The pin in slancha-app is still 64a6b0937018ec9a4c88c09452358394cee6ed31. Point SLANCHA_REF at a commit that contains this file and SLANCHA_SHA256 at the digest above. The old pin will refuse this file.

Docs follow-ups in slancha-app

File: site/src/content/docs/install-the-cli.md.

1. Replace the upload row with:

   slancha upload <path> [path ...] [--name N] [--dry-run] — Uploads each skill folder or zip for review, like Upload a skill in the console. A directory with no SKILL.md is a folder of skills: each child folder that contains SKILL.md, and each zip, is its own proposal. One failure does not stop the rest. --name is only for a single skill. --dry-run packages and validates locally and checks acceptance criteria, and uploads nothing. It starts the security scan and reports the acceptance criteria.

2. Replace the exit-code paragraph with:

   Every command in the table above, and every slancha tracing command, takes --json. auth, init, update, status, hook, and flush do not. update, status, hook, and flush exit 0 even when they report a problem, so Claude Code can show the message. Exit codes for the table above and for slancha tracing: 0 done, 1 an error or a refusal, 2 a usage error, 3 the acceptance criteria are not met. An upload of several skills exits 3 if any skill misses its criteria, otherwise 1 if any skill failed. With one skill path, upload --json is the API's object. With more than one skill, or a folder of them, it is an array of per-skill results. An upload that exits 1 or 3 after printing Uploaded is stored, and the skill takes no other upload until it is approved or rejected: exit 1 there means its security scan did not start, which slancha scan <s> --wait retries.

3. In the outcomes row, after --days N, add: --days is 1 to 90 and defaults to 30.

4. Optional, on the init row: `--check` only checks that claude and git are present (and uv, with --tracing) and changes nothing. The installer runs it before sign-in.

5. Optional: the CLI also has slancha uninstall (--dry-run), which undoes init and auth on this machine and does not remove installed skills. Ctrl-C exits 130.

jobs already says newest first; the CLI now sorts that way, so no wording change.

CodeRabbit

The four inline comments on e7dce5d are fixed in 8890639:

• scripts/release.sh writes the version edit through a temp file (sed -E is shared by GNU and BSD; sed -i is not) and hashes with sha256sum, or shasum -a 256 when sha256sum is absent, matching install.sh.
• unmerge_settings removes a CC_LANGFUSE_* value only when tracing.json is present and holds that same value. With no tracing.json, the keys stay, and the note says so.
• check_zip says an entry with the encryption flag is encrypted, and a non-regular entry is a link.
• draft --new loads the library through api_rows, so a missing token or a bad API URL is the usual message rather than a request with no token.

Not taken: the docstring-coverage warning (about 23.5% versus an 80% bar, counted across the whole diff from main). This file uses a docstring where a function's contract is not obvious from its name. Adding one to every function would not change behavior, and it is outside the docs and bulk-upload work. The "generate docstrings / unit tests" checkboxes were treated the same way; the new behavior is covered by the tests above.

Review comments at @scripts/release.sh:
- Around line 20-21: Update the release script’s version and installer commands
to avoid GNU-only in-place sed usage by using a portable file-editing approach
compatible with macOS. Replace the digest calculation with the same shasum -a
256 fallback behavior used by install.sh, preserving the existing version
substitutions and generated checksum output.

Review comments at @scripts/slancha.py:
- Line 2582: Update the draft --new flow around published and fetch_library to
load skills through api_rows(cfg, "/api/skills") before checking the requested
skill, building the name-to-row mapping and passing the selected row to
published. Remove the direct fetch_library call so configuration and token
errors are handled consistently by api_rows.
- Line 1561: Update the removed-key filtering around the present and tracing
values so that keys are removed only when tracing data exists and env[k] matches
tracing.get(ours[k]); when tracing is None, retain all CC_LANGFUSE_* keys and
report them as kept.
- Around line 2018-2019: In the skill ZIP-entry validation, split the combined
condition in the surrounding archive-processing flow: let the non-regular-entry
check keep the existing link error, then add a separate encryption-flag check
using info.flag_bits & 0x1 that raises an encrypted-entry error. Keep both
checks before accepting the entry.
