auth context / config

Manage cluster contexts and local configuration.

Relocated 2026-05-08: abc context ... was moved under abc auth context .... The root-level abc context is kept as a deprecated alias for one release — it prints a one-line stderr note and forwards to the new location. Update scripts to abc auth context ... at your convenience.

auth context add

Create a new named context and optionally make it active:

abc auth context add <name> \
  --url https://api.abc-cluster.io \
  --access-token <token> \
  --workspace <workspace-id> \
  [--region <region>] \
  [--org <org-id>]

auth context list

abc auth context list

auth context use

Switch the active context:

abc auth context use <name>
# or via env var (one-shot override):
ABC_CLI_CONTEXT=dev abc job list

auth context remove

abc auth context remove <name>

config init

Create ~/.abc/config.yaml with a blank default context:

abc config init

config set / get / list / unset

abc config set active_context dev
abc config get active_context
abc config list
abc config unset active_context

Common config keys:

Key	Description
active_context	Default context name
contexts.<name>.url	API endpoint
contexts.<name>.access_token	Access token
contexts.<name>.workspace_id	Workspace ID
contexts.<name>.controller_url	abc-controller-svc endpoint for the capability probe (optional; when set, abc cluster capabilities sync probes here instead of Nomad)
contexts.<name>.cluster_type	abc-seedling | abc-grove (canonical short form). Long-form abc-cluster-seedling / abc-cluster-grove and -tended variants are accepted aliases; legacy abc-nodes / abc-cluster / abc-seed resolve to the new canonical on read. Used by tier-default capability seeding.
