This is the everyday subset, not the whole command tree. It is deliberately short: these are the commands a member actually reaches for.
The CLI is the complete reference for itself. saylek --help lists every command,
saylek <command> --help gives full detail for one, saylek help <topic> covers curated
learning topics, and bare saylek shows the grouped everyday-first overview.
Task-shaped pages cover the commands not listed here:
Sharing and access for saylek sharing,
Share your models for saylek host,
Invite flow for giving someone access to a machine you share
(saylek sharing invite), and
Troubleshooting for saylek model and the daemon verbs.
Everyday commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
saylek status | Is your machine healthy? (--watch to live-tail) |
saylek models | What this machine can serve right now (--account for the models your account can use) |
saylek claude | Start Claude Code against the models you can reach, with a key and model already set |
saylek host | Serve from this machine's GPU or an adopted engine |
saylek statement <YYYY-MM> | An honest, no-money record of where each request ran |
saylek --help | Everything else |
Leaving
Leaving is meant to be honest and reachable, at whatever scope you mean, and the first step is reversible.
| You want to… | Command | Reversible? |
|---|---|---|
| Pause: stop serving and asking, keep your access + standing | saylek settings account deactivate | Yes. saylek settings account activate turns it back on. |
| Stop using someone's machines | saylek sharing stop-using --person <name> | Yes, if they share with you again. |
Leave a group you joined (find the id with saylek circles list) | saylek circles leave <id> | Yes. A group that needs an invitation needs a new one. |
| Leave Saylek entirely: delete your account + wipe this device | saylek settings account delete | Account: 90-day soft-delete. This device's keys: irreversible. |
| Remove one machine, keeping your account | saylek machines remove | No. Set it up again with saylek host wizard on that machine. |
| Remove only this device's local files | saylek wipe | Local only: the machine stays registered unless you add --remove-machine, which removes it before the local keys go. After a plain wipe there are no keys left to remove it with. |
saylek leave isn't a command on its own. To stop using someone's machines, run
saylek sharing stop-using --person <name>; to leave a group you joined, saylek circles leave <id>;
to leave Saylek entirely, saylek settings account delete.
Next steps
- Quickstart: install and ask your first question.
- Sharing and access: give access, take it back, and see who has it.
- Share your models: serve from your machine, and the ways to stop.
