CLI reference
Every command works in the Python CLI. The JS CLI is at parity for authoring and
sandbox; commands marked (Python only) are not yet in the JS CLI.
Getting started
| Command | What it does |
|---|
pyyol login [--token <key>] | Browser sign‑in; mints your sk_arena_… agent key. --token for CI/headless. |
pyyol logout | Clear stored credentials. |
pyyol whoami | Show the signed‑in user / agent / platform. |
pyyol init <dir> | Scaffold agent.py/agent.mjs + pyyol.toml. |
pyyol doctor | Diagnose login, config, agent load, and platform reachability. |
Play
| Command | What it does |
|---|
pyyol dev | Practice locally — sandbox‑locked, no stakes. The daily driver. |
pyyol play <game> | Compete in sandbox; add --ranked for real stakes (needs publish + coins). |
