Aem CLI

skill

Reference for the Adobe AEM CLI (@adobe/aem-cli, formerly the helix-cli npm package; commands aem up, aem import, aem content) — installation, the local Edge Delivery dev server, .env / AEM configuration, HTTPS/TLS, proxy & certificate trust, content sync with da.live, and troubleshooting. Use when installing, running, or configuring the aem/hlx CLI, when aem up fails (port conflicts, cert errors, proxy 404s, pipeline vs. local-file confusion), or when migrating from the old helix-cli package. Do NOT use for da.live content-format rules or the DA Source API contract (use da-content); do NOT use for writing EDS block code (use content-driven-development).

Works with: Claude Code (native) · Cursor, Codex CLI (manual)
native: this artifact type is that client's own format

Security audit

Not scanned yet. We audit npm-published capabilities for known advisories, install-time scripts and permission surface; this one has no npm package we can resolve, or has not reached the queue.

Its own instructions

Its SKILL.md says when to use it, shows worked examples and covers setup.

Read from the capability’s own SKILL.md. This is not a grade and does not compare to the instruction-depth verdict on an MCP server — a skill has no tools to document, so that rubric does not apply to it.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.

tashan Pro$6/mo

Pro adds the history to tashan doctor, so a run over your own config says which of yours gained an advisory, started running an install script, or lost its last maintainer — and what to move to.

Everything on this page is public evidence and free. What it cannot know is whether you run this — check your whole config, free, in the browser. tashan Pro adds the series behind each row and names a replacement for anything dying.

Already running this? Check your whole config — free, in your browser, nothing installed. Or npx tashan-cli doctor locally, which sends nothing at all.
