syllago edit

Synopsis

syllago edit <name> [flags]

Description

Updates display name and/or description stored in the item’s .syllago.yaml metadata.

Only the metadata file is changed — the directory name, install paths, and all references remain exactly as they are.

The display name and description appear in the TUI, list output, and anywhere items are presented to users.

Options

Flag	Type	Default	Required	Description
--description	string	—	No	New description for the item
--name	string	—	No	New display name for the item
--type	string	—	No	Content type to disambiguate (skills, hooks, mcp, etc.)

Global Options

Flag	Type	Default	Required	Description
--json	bool	—	No	Output in JSON format
--no-color	bool	—	No	Disable color output
-q, --quiet	bool	—	No	Suppress non-essential output
-v, --verbose	bool	—	No	Verbose output

Examples

  # Set a display name for a hook
  syllago edit my-hook --name "Pre-commit Linter"

  # Set a description
  syllago edit my-hook --description "Runs ESLint before every commit"

  # Update both at once
  syllago edit my-hook --name "Pre-commit Linter" --description "Runs ESLint before every commit"

  # Disambiguate by type when name exists in multiple types
  syllago edit my-item --name "Better Name" --type hooks
