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:
Circles and membership for saylek circles,
Hosting your GPU for saylek host,
Invite flow for bringing someone into a Circle you own
(saylek circles invite, also spelled saylek circles invites-mint), and
Troubleshooting for saylek model and the daemon verbs.
Top-level saylek invite is a different command with the same word in it: it invites
someone to install Saylek itself, and it is restricted to the people running Saylek. To
bring a person into your Circle, the command is saylek circles invite.
Everyday commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
saylek status | Is your node healthy? (--watch to live-tail) |
saylek models | What this machine can serve right now |
saylek host | Contribute your GPU to your Circle. Your own work keeps priority |
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/consuming but keep your Circles + standing | saylek settings account deactivate | Yes. saylek settings account activate turns it back on. |
| Leave one Circle | saylek circles leave <circle> | Yes. Rejoin later with a new invite. |
| 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 from your Circle, keeping your account | saylek host forget | No. Set it up again with saylek host wizard. |
| Remove only this device's local files | saylek wipe | Local only: the machine stays registered unless you also saylek host forget (or answer the prompt). |
saylek leave isn't a command on its own. It points you at both circles leave and
settings account delete so you can pick the scope you mean.
Next steps
- Quickstart: install and ask your first question.
