CLI
The Raycast CLI allows you to build, develop, and lint your extension.
The CLI is part of the @raycast/api package and is automatically installed in your extension directory during setup. To get a list of the available CLI commands, run the following command inside your extension directory:
Build
npx ray build creates an optimized production build of your extension for distribution. This command is used by our CI to publish your extension to the store.
You can use npx ray build -e dist to validate that your extension builds properly.
Development
npx ray develop starts your extension in development mode. The mode includes the following:
Extension shows up at the top of the root search for quick access
Commands get automatically reloaded when you save your changes (you can toggle auto-reloading via Raycast Preferences > Advanced > "Auto-reload on save")
Error overlays include detailed stack traces for faster debugging
Log messages are displayed in the terminal
Status indicator is visible in the navigation title of the command to signal build errors
Imports the extension to Raycast if it wasn't before
Lint
npx ray lint runs ESLint for all files in the src directory.
Migrate
npx ray migrate migrates your extension to the latest version of the @raycast/api.
Publish
npx ray publish verifies, builds, and publishes an extension.
If the extension is private (eg. has an owner and no public access), it will be published to the organization's private store. This command is only available to users that are part of that organization. Learn more about it here.
