In v3 the CLI is a **runtime orchestrator, not a compiler**. +Use the CLI as a runtime and control-plane client. It does not compile `.hx` files, deploy query +bundles, push source, or sync gateway metadata. -The mental model that matters most: +## Choose the execution boundary -- **There is no `helix compile`, no `helix check`, and no `.hx` query workflow.** Those are stale v2 concepts — the v3 CLI hides them and errors with a hint if you try them. -- **Queries are JSON "dynamic queries"** sent to a *running* instance via `POST /v2/query` (`helix query`). Validation happens server-side, in the instance. -- **Local instances are Docker/Podman containers** (image `ghcr.io/helixdb/helixdb:v0.0.3`). `helix start` runs one; in-memory by default, MinIO-backed with `--disk`. -- **Helix Cloud instances deploy via `helix push`**, with auth and metadata managed by `helix auth`, `helix sync`, and the `workspace`/`project`/`cluster` commands. +- Local `[local.]`: Docker/Podman, auth-disabled local `/v2/query`. +- Cloud `[enterprise.]`: stable `tenant:` or dedicated `cluster:` linkage. +- Cloud `query` and `shell`: backend query broker, never a direct gateway request. +- Direct application gateway access: outside CLI authentication; explicitly created database key. -This skill is about *driving the CLI*. For authoring the query bodies themselves, use the query skills (`helix-query-rust`, `helix-query-typescript`, `helix-query-json-dynamic`, etc.). +## Cloud authentication -## When To Use - -Use this skill when the task is to: - -- scaffold a Helix project (`helix init`, `helix chef`, `helix add`) -- start, stop, restart, or inspect a local instance (`helix start`/`stop`/`restart`/`status`/`logs`) -- send a query to a running instance (`helix query`) -- clean up local resources (`helix prune`, `helix delete`) -- authenticate to and deploy on Helix Cloud (`helix auth`, `helix push`, `helix sync`) -- manage cloud workspace / project / cluster selection -- read or edit `helix.toml` - -Do not use this skill to write the query AST/DSL itself — defer to `helix-query-rust`, `helix-query-typescript`, or `helix-query-json-dynamic`. This skill only covers *getting that query to a running instance and back*. - -## First Steps - -Before running anything: - -1. **Find the project.** Check for a `helix.toml` (the CLI walks up the directory tree to find it). Run `helix status` to see configured instances and their state. If there is no project yet, you are in scaffold territory (`helix init local`). -2. **For local work, confirm a container runtime is up.** `helix start` needs Docker or Podman running. The runtime is chosen by `[project] container_runtime` (default `docker`). -3. **Decide local vs cloud.** Local instances live in `[local.]` and run as containers; cloud instances live in `[enterprise.]` and run on Helix Cloud. -4. **For cloud, ensure auth and tenant context.** Cloud commands require `helix auth login` (credentials in `~/.helix/credentials`), and `helix query` against a cloud instance needs the API key in `HELIX_API_KEY` (or the env named by `query_auth_env`), readable from the shell or a project-root `.env`. GA requests also require the active tenant ID in `x-helix-tenant-id`. - -If you need a builder/flag beyond the common surface, open `REFERENCE.md` — do not guess flag names. For copy-pasteable sessions, see `EXAMPLES.md`. - -## Core Workflows - -### 1. Local Dev Loop (start here) +Use only: ```bash -helix init local # scaffold helix.toml + .helix/ + examples/request.json -helix start dev # start the 'dev' container (waits until /v2/query is ready) -helix status dev # confirm it is running and note the URL -helix query dev --file examples/request.json # send a dynamic query -# ...edit the request and re-run helix query to iterate... -helix stop dev # stop the container +helix auth login +helix auth status +helix auth logout ``` -Key facts: +Login is WorkOS PKCE. The CLI rotates the session through WFE. Never ask for or set a Cloud API key, +legacy admin/user key, service credential, custom authorization header, or gateway URL. Do not retry +a Cloud mutation: the client may retry once only when WFE explicitly rejects the session before +handler dispatch. + +## Target resolution -- The instance name defaults to `dev`; the default port is **6969** (host → container port 8080). -- **In-memory is the default — the runtime leaves `S3_BUCKET` unset and data is lost when the container is replaced.** Use `--disk` for persistence (MinIO-backed). With disk mode, `stop` keeps the volume; use `helix prune ` to delete the data. Never set `S3_BUCKET=IN_MEMORY`: every defined bucket value selects S3-compatible storage. -- `--port

` and `--disk` apply to a single `start`; add `--persist` to write those choices back to `helix.toml`. -- `helix logs dev -f` streams container logs; `helix restart dev` restarts in place (re-creating fresh if the container was removed). +Prefer an explicit `--workspace`, `--project`, `cluster:`, or `tenant:`. For `query` and +`shell`, an explicit instance wins; otherwise use local `dev`, then the sole linked instance. If +multiple instances remain, list them and require an explicit instance. Other Cloud commands use the +database/project linked in the current `helix.toml` only when unambiguous. There is no global +workspace selection and no `workspace switch`. -### 2.

(The old `helix deploy` is removed.) -- `helix sync` reconciles metadata (gateway URL, auth header/env, node types) between local and cloud; `--dry-run` previews without writing, `-y/--yes` skips conflict prompts (for CI). -- Cloud queries post to the instance's `gateway_url` with the header named by `query_auth_header` (default `Authorization`), valued from the env named by `query_auth_env` (default `HELIX_API_KEY`). GA requests also carry `x-helix-tenant-id` for the active tenant. - -## Core Usage Rules - -### 1. Query A Running Instance, By Name - -`helix query [instance]` defaults to `dev`. The instance must be running (local) or deployed + synced (cloud). If a local query connection fails, check `helix status` first. - -### 2. Exactly One Query Input Flag - -`helix query` requires exactly one of `--file `, `--json ''`, `-e/--ts ''`, or `--ts-file ` (enforced by a clap arg group). `--file`/`--json` carry raw dynamic-query JSON; `-e`/`--ts-file` carry a TypeScript DSL expression that the CLI evaluates in Node (needs Node 20+) and converts via `.toQueryJson()`. - -### 3. `request_type` Is Lowercase - -In a JSON request body, `request_type` must be lowercase `"read"` or `"write"`. With the TS DSL, the type is inferred from `readBatch()` vs `writeBatch()`. - -### 4. `--warm` Is Read-Only - -`--warm` adds the `X-Helix-Warm` header to execute a read through warm mode and -populate caches. It is read-only. A standalone local instance prints the normal -query result; Helix Cloud fans out to every eligible backend and succeeds -silently with `204 No Content` after at least one target succeeds. At the raw -HTTP/SDK layer, add `X-Helix-Require-Writer: true` to warm only the writer. - -### 5. Prefer `helix push`, Not Removed Commands - -`compile`, `check`, and `deploy` are removed. Use `helix push ` to deploy; there is no compile/check step (validation is server-side). - -### 6. Never Commit Secrets - -`~/.helix/credentials` and the `HELIX_API_KEY` value (or `.env`) are secrets. Do not commit them. `helix init` already adds `.helix/` to `.gitignore`. - -### 7. Use `helix prune`, Not `docker system prune` - -To remove Helix-owned containers/volumes/networks, use `helix prune [instance]` (or `--all`). It scopes to Helix resources only — never run a broad `docker system prune`. - -## Anti-Patterns - -Do not: - -- run `helix compile`, `helix check`, or `helix deploy` — they are removed (compile/check don't exist; use `push` to deploy) -- create or edit `.hx` query files — v3 uses JSON dynamic queries to `POST /v2/query` -- assume local data survives `stop`/`restart` — it does not unless the instance uses `--disk` -- run `helix query` before the instance is ready (local: not started; cloud: not pushed/synced) -- hardcode the cloud API key in a command or file — read it from `HELIX_API_KEY` / `.env` -- pass more than one query input flag, or use uppercase `READ`/`WRITE` in `request_type` -- reach for `docker system prune` to clean up — use `helix prune` -- guess at flags from memory — confirm against `REFERENCE.md` +Cloud read/write envelopes require independent `database.query.read` / `database.query.write` access. +Management `read`/`write` does not imply query access. -## Validation Checklist +## Secret lifecycle -Before running (or after, to debug): +- `helix database create` creates a default read-write application key and prints its token once; + the CLI never stores or uses it. +- `helix database key create ... --access read-only|read-write` prints an application token once; + the CLI never stores or uses it. +- `helix service-credential create` prints a headless API/MCP token once; the CLI never stores or + authenticates with it. +- Never put any token in `helix.toml`, agent instructions, source control, or command history. -- the instance exists in `helix.toml` and the name passed matches it -- local: the instance is started (`helix status`) and the container runtime is up -- cloud: `helix auth login` done, instance `push`ed + `sync`ed, `HELIX_API_KEY` set, and the GA tenant context available -- `helix query` has exactly one input flag and (for JSON) lowercase `request_type` -- not using any removed command (`compile`/`check`/`deploy`) or `.hx` workflow -- secrets (`credentials`, API key) are not being committed +## Removed and excluded surfaces -## Reference Files +Do not use or recommend `push`, `sync`, `auth create-key`, `workspace switch`, query bundles, +dedicated-cluster lifecycle, networking, regions/SKUs, branches/backups, schema introspection, +execution polling/cancellation, webhooks, or project update. -- `REFERENCE.md` — full command catalog (every subcommand, flag, alias, default) plus the `helix.toml` / `~/.helix/*` config formats, key constants, and environment variables. -- `EXAMPLES.md` — copy-pasteable end-to-end sessions: local dev loop (memory + disk), each `helix query` input form, a full Helix Cloud deploy, and a troubleshooting block. +Open `REFERENCE.md` for exact commands/config and `EXAMPLES.md` for safe sessions.
