## Documentation content

Complete reference documentation for all DataRobot CLI commands.

## Global flags

These flags are available for all commands:

```
  -v, --verbose       Enable verbose output (info level logging)
      --debug         Enable debug output (debug level logging)
      --skip-auth     Skip authentication checks (for advanced users)
      --force-interactive  Force the setup wizard to run even if already completed
  -h, --help          Show help information
```

Warning: The `--skip-auth` flag is intended for advanced use cases only. Using this flag will bypass all authentication checks, which may cause API calls to fail. Use with caution.

Note: The `--force-interactive` flag forces commands to behave as if setup has never been completed, while still updating the state file. This is useful for testing or forcing re-execution of setup steps.

For more on these flags from a configuration perspective, see [Configuration - Advanced flags](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/agentic-ai/cli/configuration.html#advanced-flags) and [Getting started - Getting help](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/agentic-ai/cli/getting-started.html#getting-help).

## Choosing commands

- dr start — Use for first-time setup or quickstart: runs task start if present, then a quickstart script from .datarobot/cli/bin/ , or falls back to the template setup wizard. Best when you want one command to "get running."
- dr run <task> — Use to run specific tasks (e.g., dr run dev , dr run test ). Use when you already have a template and want to execute a single task.
- dr task list — Lists all available tasks. Use when you want to see what tasks a template provides.
- dr task compose — Composes a unified Taskfile from component Taskfiles. Use when developing or customizing templates that use multiple Taskfiles.
