Apache Answer

This recipe generates the answer CLI and agent Skill for Apache Answer questions, answers, users, notifications, moderation, and site administration.

API and authentication

Use an Apache Answer access token or API key:

answer auth login --hostname <host>
answer auth status --hostname <host>

The login check uses an authenticated notification endpoint. The public current-user endpoint is intentionally not used because it returns HTTP 200 for anonymous requests.

Install the Skill

answer skill install --scope user --agent codex --yes

Agent workflow

answer commands --json
answer search "list questions" --json

Use the returned command path with answer commands show before execution. Bump the release pin in specs/sources.yaml when upgrading the Apache Answer API.
