spark status

Show CLI version, authentication, and IDE configuration.

Synopsis

spark status

Description

spark status displays a complete overview of your Spark CLI installation. It prints the installed version, whether a newer version is available, your authentication status, the organization (or "Public"), and any IDE skills that are installed for the current project.

This is the go-to diagnostic command. If something isn't working, run spark status first to identify the issue — outdated CLI, missing authentication, or a misconfigured integration.

The command checks the Spark API for the latest version, so it requires network connectivity. If the API is unreachable, it still prints local information with a connectivity warning.

Arguments

This command has no arguments.

Flags

This command has no command-specific flags. Global flags (--pretty, --no-color, --api-key) apply.

Example output

spark status

Spark Status

✓ You are on the latest version.

✓ Authenticated as Jane Developer
ℹ Environment: Public

ℹ Skills configured for: Claude Code
ℹ Installed skills version: v1.3.1
✓ Skills are up to date.

If you are part of a Teams organization, the environment line will read Organization: <name> instead of Environment: Public. If a newer CLI or skills version is available, you will see a warning instead of the green checkmark.
