--- name: ooda description: > Publish and manage static websites on ooda.run from the command line. Use when the user wants to publish a built static site or SPA to a shareable {slug}.ooda.run URL, list/update/unpublish their published sites, or set per-site access (public, password-protected, or ooda-login), or set env vars & secrets for a site. Every command runs non-interactively via the `ooda` CLI, so an agent can drive the whole lifecycle. Triggers: "publish this site", "put this online", "deploy my built site", "share this as a URL", "list my ooda sites", "password-protect / make public / unpublish a site", "set an env var / API key / secret for my site", "use window.__OODA_ENV__", "call an authenticated/OpenAI API from a published site", "proxy a secret API key", "wire up the ooda.json secrets manifest". --- # ooda ooda publishes static sites to a permanent, shareable URL at `{slug}.ooda.run` and lets you manage them — all from the CLI, non-interactively. Use this skill when the user wants to: - **Publish** a built static site / SPA to a public URL. - **List** the sites they've already published. - **Control access** to a site: public, password-protected, or ooda-login-only. - **Set env vars & secrets** for a site (non-secret config reaches the page as `window.__OODA_ENV__`; true secrets never do). - **Unpublish** a site. ## Install Install the CLI globally and use the `ooda` command — it prints an "update available" nudge when a newer version is published, so a global install won't go stale: ```bash npm install -g @oodarun/cli ``` Requirements: Node.js 20+, and an ooda account in an organization (publishing is org-scoped). > You can also run without installing via `npx @oodarun/cli@latest `, > but prefer the global `ooda` command — it is shorter and more reliable > across shells. All examples below use `ooda`. To (re)install this skill: `npx skills add toy-studio/ooda-skills -g` (see the repo README). ## Authentication (do this first) ooda commands need an org session — an **existing** account (signup is invite-only). **Before publishing, check the session — don't just try a command** (an unauthed command may trigger an interactive prompt you can't answer): ```bash ooda whoami # exits 0 + prints the org when signed in, non-zero otherwise ``` If it exits non-zero, authenticate with one of these paths, in order of preference: 1. **The user logs in themselves (preferred).** Ask the user to run `ooda login` in their own terminal and sign in once. The session is saved to `~/.ooda/auth.json` and reused by every later command. Tell them: > "Run `ooda login` once, then I can publish for you." 2. **Environment variables (headless / CI).** Set both and the CLI skips login: - `OODA_ACCESS_TOKEN` — the user's JWT. - `OODA_ORG_ID` — the org to act in. 3. **Email-code login from chat (fallback; CLI 0.1.15+).** Use this only when the user can't run a terminal themselves. The user stays in control of the credential at every step: ```bash ooda login --email # emails a 6-digit code # the USER reads the code from their own inbox and types it into the chat: ooda login --email --code [--org ] [--json] ``` Rules for this path: - **Ask the user which email their ooda account uses — do NOT guess it** (e.g. from git config or the repo). A wrong address silently sends nothing (the endpoint never reveals whether an account exists), so a guess just wastes a round-trip. If they've logged in before, `ooda whoami` prints the account email. - **Never open or search the user's mailbox for the code**, even if you have email tools. The user reads the email and relays the code themselves. - The code is single-use and expires after 10 minutes. Requesting a new code cancels any earlier one — use the latest email. - If the account is in several orgs, pass `--org ` (the error lists the options). ## Publish a site ```bash # Run from the PROJECT ROOT — not the build folder. ooda publish [--slug ] [--title ""] [--description ""] [--tags ] [--message ""] [--json] ``` - Publishes an **already-built** static site — it does **not** run your build. Run the project's build first (`npm run build`, `pnpm build`, etc.). - **Run it from the project root and let it auto-detect the build output** (`dist`, `build`, `out`, `.output/public`, or `.next/static`). The optional `[path]` argument is the **project directory**, not the build folder — it defaults to the current dir. - ✅ `ooda publish` (in the project root) - ✅ `ooda publish ./my-app` (path to a project root) - ❌ `ooda publish ./dist` — **wrong**: it looks for a build dir *inside* `./dist` and fails. Don't pass the build folder. - On success it prints the live URL, e.g. `https://my-app-k3x9.ooda.run` — note the short random suffix; every new site gets one (see "Naming the site"). - `--json` gives machine-readable output: `{ ok, url, slug, version, fileCount, totalSize, promoted, live }`. - Every publish appends a new **version** and makes it live. Pass **`--draft`** to append a version *without* making it live (it stays behind the current live version); the CLI prints a `?v=N` preview URL, and you promote it later with `ooda sites pin N` (see "Versions & rollback"). ### Naming the site (choose a good slug) The slug is the site's public name in the URL `{slug}.ooda.run`, so name it after **the user's project**, not the tool. - **Every NEW site's URL ends in a short random suffix** — 4 characters including a digit, e.g. `acme-marketing-k3x9.ooda.run`. The server requires it (clean bare names are kept for a future org-subdomain scheme), and the CLI appends it automatically — even to an explicit `--slug` (CLI 0.1.32+). Don't try to fight or strip it; just pick a good descriptive **base** name. Existing sites keep the exact URL they already have. - **Don't call it `ooda`** (or `site`, `dist`, `app`, etc.) — "ooda" is the CLI, not their site. A generic or tool-named slug is almost never what they want. - Derive a descriptive slug from the **project**: its `package.json`/`ooda.json` name, the repo name, or what the user calls it (e.g. `acme-marketing`, `portfolio-2026`). Pass it with `--slug `. - **If it's not obvious what the site should be called, ask the user** before publishing — the slug is in the URL you'll share, and changing it later means a new URL. - Confirm the URL back to the user after publishing so a wrong name is caught early — share the **exact URL the CLI printed**, which includes the suffix. ### Reserved & disallowed names The server enforces a naming policy on every publish: - **Random suffix (every new site).** A NEW site's slug must end in a random suffix (4 trailing characters including a digit). The CLI handles this automatically (0.1.32+) whatever the slug's origin, so you normally never see the underlying `suffix_required` rejection — older CLIs surface it as an error on an explicit `--slug` (update the CLI). Republishing an existing site is unaffected, whatever its slug looks like. - **Reserved names.** Names that look like official ooda pages or infrastructure (`login`, `privacy`, `terms`, `docs`, `www`, `api`, `drop`, …) and anything starting with `ooda-` can't be claimed as a slug. A *derived* slug that hits one is auto-suffixed and the publish succeeds (CLI 0.1.31+); an explicit `--slug` fails with an error telling you to pick another name. - **Disallowed words.** Profanity and slurs are blocked in the slug **and** in `--title`/`--description`/`--tags`. No suffix fixes these — the publish (or a later metadata update) is refused with a message naming the offending field. If a folder name trips this, pick a clean `--slug` instead of retrying. ### Title, description & tags (set these!) The slug is just the URL. Each site also carries display/search metadata you should set on publish (CLI 0.1.25+): - **`--title "Human Name"`** — the display name shown in the dashboard instead of the slug. Defaults to a prettified slug if unset, so always pass a real one. - **`--description "…"`** — what the site is: its purpose, key features, and tech. Be specific and keyword-rich — this powers search across many sites. - **`--tags blog,astro,marketing`** — 3–6 short lowercase keywords (kind of site, framework, domain). - Title/description/tags are saved to `ooda.json`, so re-publishing keeps them without re-passing the flags. - **Brand colour — set `"color": "#rrggbb"` in `ooda.json`** (CLI 0.1.29+): the dominant accent/brand colour of the site's design. The dashboard tints the site's card and preview frame with it. There's no flag — add the field to `ooda.json` before publishing. Omit it only if the site has no distinctive colour (the dashboard falls back to its default). - **`--message "what changed"`** (or `-m`) — a per-publish note, recorded against that version like a commit message. Use it on re-publishes. ### Slugs are global and auto-deduplicated `{slug}.ooda.run` is a global subdomain, so slugs are unique across all orgs. (Sites published under the older `{slug}-p.ooda.run` scheme still work — those URLs 301-redirect to the bare `{slug}.ooda.run` — so old shared links don't break.) - Without `--slug`, the CLI derives a base name from `ooda.json`'s `name` or the folder name (it never uses "ooda" unless that's literally your project/folder name) and appends the required random suffix for a new site. A collision or reserved name (see above) just rolls a fresh suffix. - It writes the resolved slug back to `ooda.json`, so **re-publishing the same project keeps the same URL** — suffix included. - With `--slug ` you choose the base explicitly. A new site still gains the random suffix (CLI 0.1.32+); beyond that the name is used as-is — if the result is taken by another org you'll get an error and should pick a different base. - **It won't clobber a different site in your org.** If the slug already belongs to another project in your org, a derived publish auto-suffixes and an explicit `--slug` is **refused** — pass `--force` only if you really mean to overwrite that site. (CLI 0.1.19+.) ### Is the project publishable? ooda serves a **static snapshot** (built HTML/CSS/JS) — there is no running server. This works for: - Static sites (Astro, Hugo, plain HTML) - Client-side SPAs (React, Vue, Svelte with client-side routing) - Static exports (Next.js `output: "export"`, Nuxt `ssr: false`) It does **not** work for apps that need a **server** at runtime (SSR, `/api` routes, a runtime database). If the project needs a server, tell the user it can't be published as a static site. **Non-secret runtime config does work**, though: API base URLs, feature flags, and public/anon keys can be set as env vars and read in the browser as `window.__OODA_ENV__.KEY` — no rebuild needed (see "Env vars & secrets" below). A site that only needs public config can be published; one that needs a real secret in the browser cannot (true secrets are never exposed to the page) — but a site that needs to *call* a secret-authenticated API can, via the secret-injecting proxy (see "Env vars & secrets" below). ## Manage published sites ```bash ooda sites list [--json] ooda sites access --mode \ [--password | --clear-password] [--clear-mode] [--json] ooda sites password [--json] ooda sites delete [--json] ``` - **`sites list`** — every site in the org, with its URL, effective access mode, and owner. Use `--json` to parse it: the JSON entries also include each site's `title`, `description`, and `tags`, so when you need to find the right site to re-publish or update, list with `--json` and match on those rather than guessing from the slug. (CLI 0.1.27+.) - **`sites access `** — set the access policy: - `--mode public` — anyone can view. - `--mode password --password ` — visitors must enter the password. - `--mode login` — only members of the user's ooda org can view (they sign in). - `--clear-password` removes the per-site password. - `--clear-mode` reverts to the org default. - **`sites password `** — reveal the effective password of a password-protected site. - **`sites delete `** — unpublish the site and remove its files. Every command exits `0` on success and non-zero on failure, printing the server's error message. Add `--json` to any command for structured output. ## Versions & rollback Every publish appends a version; the newest is normally live. You can roll back to any earlier version — it's a pointer move, nothing is re-uploaded. ```bash ooda sites versions [--json] # list versions; marks the live one (live/pinned) ooda sites pin # make an earlier version live ("pin" it) ooda sites pin latest # re-pin the newest version (undo a rollback) ``` - **`sites versions `** — the publish history (newest first) with each version's file count, size, and `--message` note; the live one is marked `live` when it's the newest, `pinned` when an older version is being served. - **`sites pin `** — set which version is live. Pinning an older version keeps it serving until you pin another **or publish new content** — a normal publish appends past the newest version and goes live, superseding the pin. Use `ooda publish --draft` to add a version without disturbing the pinned/live one. ## Env vars & secrets Give a site configuration without hardcoding it. Managed entirely from the CLI, non-interactively. There are two kinds: - **`--env` = non-secret config** (API base URL, feature flag, public/anon key). For a published site it's delivered to the page as `window.__OODA_ENV__.KEY` — read it there at runtime, **not** from `import.meta.env`/`process.env` (those are build-time only on a static host). Changing a value re-materializes the site with **no rebuild**. Safe to be public. - **secret** (the default, no `--env`) = a true secret. It is **never** sent to a site's browser, and you can **never** read a value back from the CLI. ```bash # Always pass --description (alias --desc) when setting a variable. ooda secrets set API_URL=https://api.example.com --env --description "API base URL" # global config (admin) ooda secrets set STRIPE_KEY="$STRIPE_KEY" --site --description "Stripe live key" # this site only (private; shell-expanded — see below) ooda secrets list # the global catalog: key, kind + description ooda secrets list --site # masked: this site's keys (used global + private) ooda secrets use KEY --site # record that this site uses a global var ooda secrets rm KEY [--site ] [--force] # global rm blocked while in use ``` - **Global vs per-site.** With no scope flag an **org admin** sets a *global* var — a flat, org-wide namespace of shared config/secrets. A site only **receives** a global once it's recorded as **using** it (`ooda secrets use`, or the manifest via `secrets check`), so globals don't silently leak everywhere. With `--site ` the site's owner (or an admin) sets a *private* value pinned to that one site, which overrides a global of the same name. - **Reuse globals when going live.** Before publishing, run `ooda secrets list --json` to see the global catalog (each var's `key`, `kind` + `description`, never values), suggest the relevant ones to the user, and `ooda secrets use --site ` to adopt them — don't re-create values that already exist. - **There is no `reveal` command — ever.** Values are write-only from the CLI (the CLI is LLM-driven, so any printed value would leak). To **read** a value back, an admin reveals it in the dashboard. Don't try to print or echo secrets. - **Keep true secret values out of the chat.** Do not ask the user to paste a secret (API key, token) into the conversation, and do not type one into a command yourself. Use one of these flows instead: 1. The user runs the `ooda secrets set` command themselves in their terminal. 2. The user exports the value as a shell variable (e.g. in their shell or a gitignored `.env` they source), and you run the command with **shell expansion**, so the value never enters the model's context or transcript: ```bash ooda secrets set STRIPE_KEY="$STRIPE_KEY" --site --desc "Stripe live key" ``` Non-secret `--env` config (URLs, flags, public/anon keys) is fine to pass inline — it's public by design. - **Always set `--description` (alias `--desc`) when adding a variable.** Pass a short human label on every `ooda secrets set` so `ooda secrets list` shows what each key is for and teammates/agents can pick the right global to reuse. It's metadata only — the value itself is still never printed — but an undescribed key is hard to identify later, so treat the description as required, not optional. ### Call an authenticated API from a published site (secret-injecting proxy) A published site has no server, so it can't hold a true API key. ooda's backend can proxy for it: the browser calls a **same-origin** path and ooda injects the stored secret server-side — the key never reaches the browser. Drive it with two site-scoped secrets, where `` uppercases to `` (non-alphanumerics → `_`): ```bash ooda secrets set PROXY_OPENAI_URL=https://api.openai.com --env --site # upstream base (public) ooda secrets set PROXY_OPENAI_KEY="$OPENAI_API_KEY" --site # true secret — shell-expanded, # never pasted into chat ``` The site's JS then calls the proxy path (no key client-side): ```js fetch("/__ooda/proxy/openai/v1/chat/completions", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ model, messages, stream: true }), }) ``` It works for any Bearer-auth API (not just OpenAI) and supports streaming. The proxy inherits the site's access mode, so password/login-gate a public demo (`ooda sites access --mode password|login`) and use a spend-capped key. ### Declared secrets (`ooda.json` `secrets` manifest) A repo can declare the values it needs in a `secrets` array in `ooda.json`, so an agent knows what to ask for. Each entry has a `key`, optional `kind` (`"env"` | `"secret"`, default `"secret"`), `description`, `example`, `default`, and `required` (default `true`): ```json { "secrets": [ { "key": "PROXY_OPENAI_URL", "kind": "env", "default": "https://api.openai.com", "description": "OpenAI upstream base" }, { "key": "PROXY_OPENAI_KEY", "kind": "secret", "description": "OpenAI API key", "example": "sk-..." } ] } ``` To wire them up, run `ooda secrets check --json --apply-defaults` (publish first so a site slug exists). It records usage of any declared key already provided as a **global** var, applies any entry with a `default` (as a per-site private value), and returns the still-missing required keys, each with its `key`, `kind`, `description`, and `example`. For each missing one, first check whether a global already covers it (`ooda secrets list --json`) and `ooda secrets use` it. Otherwise set it per-site — for an `"env"` entry, ask the user for the value (show its `description`/`example`) and pass it inline with `--env`; for a `"secret"` entry, use the transcript-safe flow above (the user runs the command themselves, or exports a shell variable you expand): ```bash ooda secrets set KEY=VALUE --env --site --description "" # kind: env ooda secrets set KEY="$KEY" --site --description "" # kind: secret ``` Pass the entry's `description` through. Re-run `ooda secrets check` until it reports nothing missing. ## What to tell the user - After publishing, always share the live `https://.ooda.run` URL. - **New sites may default to `login` access** (org members only). If the user wants it openly shareable, run `ooda sites access --mode public` and tell them it's now public. If you leave it login-gated, tell them only members of their ooda org can open it. - For a **password**-protected site, share both the URL and the password. ## Security & data access This skill is documentation only — it ships no code. It teaches the agent to drive the published [`@oodarun/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@oodarun/cli). What that CLI touches: - **Reads** the project directory: the build output and `ooda.json`. - **Writes** `ooda.json` (slug + metadata) and the session file `~/.ooda/auth.json` (mode 0600). - **Network**: HTTPS to `api.ooda.run` only. - **Secrets are write-only.** The CLI can set a secret but can never read one back — there is no reveal command, so a value can't leak into a chat transcript. Admins reveal values in the dashboard instead. - **The agent never handles passwords** and must never read the user's mailbox. See the authentication section above. Full disclosures: [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/toy-studio/ooda-skills/blob/main/SECURITY.md). ## Full reference ```bash ooda --help ``` ## Troubleshooting - **`npx @oodarun/cli` fails or behaves unexpectedly in your shell** → install the CLI globally (`npm install -g @oodarun/cli`) and use the `ooda` command. - **It tries to prompt for a login** → no saved session and no env vars. Have the user run `ooda` and log in once, or set `OODA_ACCESS_TOKEN` + `OODA_ORG_ID`. - **"No build output found"** → run the project's build first, and run `ooda publish` from the project root (not the build folder). - **"New site URLs get a random suffix" / `suffix_required`** → you're on an older CLI (< 0.1.32) publishing a new site with an explicit `--slug`. Update the CLI (`npm install -g @oodarun/cli`) — newer versions append the required suffix automatically. - **"Slug … is taken by another organisation"** (only happens with an explicit `--slug`) → choose a different `--slug`, or omit it so the CLI picks a unique one. - **"… is reserved for ooda.run's own pages"** (explicit `--slug` only; a derived slug auto-suffixes past it) → the name is kept for official ooda pages/infra. Pick a different `--slug`; a variant like `-app` works. - **"… contains a word that isn't allowed on ooda.run"** → the slug, title, description, or tags tripped the banned-word filter. A suffix won't help — choose a different name for the flagged field. Don't retry the same value. - **Visiting the URL loops or shows "you don't have access"** → the site is `login`-gated and you're signed in to an account that isn't in the site's org. Make it public (`ooda sites access --mode public`) or sign in with an account in that org. - **Styles / fonts / images missing after publishing** → make sure those files are in the build output. The site is served at the root of its own subdomain, so absolute paths like `/assets/...` and `/_next/...` work.
