Olares CLI with Agent Skills is already available, and 1.12.6 makes the whole experience more complete. If you haven’t tried it yet, now is a good time to look again.
What’s actually changing
Agent Skills are bundles that teach an agent how to work with Olares. Each one covers a specific area:
olares-shared: login, tokens, and error recoveryolares-files: move, upload, download, and sync filesolares-market: install, upgrade, and remove appsolares-dashboard: read system metrics as JSONolares-settings: change platform settingsolares-cluster: inspect workloads and resourcesolares-chart: package and deploy apps locally
If you want to bring an existing app to Olares, olares-chart is the skill that makes it less painful.
Why this is better than raw terminal access
Handing an AI agent a shell is powerful, but it is also messy. The agent has to parse text tables, guess at flags, and hope it doesn’t break something.
Olares CLI gives agents structured JSON output, scoped permissions through your Olares profile, and built-in recovery for common failures. All you need is to describe the task, and the agent picks the right skill and reports back.
A few things you can try
Install the CLI and log in:
npx @olares/cli@latest install
olares-cli profile login --olares-id <your-olares-id>
Then try prompting your agent. Let’s say:
List all my installed apps and show me which ones have updates available.
The agent handles the rest.

What would you hand off?
If you could let an agent manage one part of your Olares setup, what would it be? File cleanup, app installs, system checks, something else?
