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](/docs/circles) for `saylek circles`,
[Hosting your GPU](/docs/hosting) for `saylek host`,
[Invite flow](/docs/invite-flow) for bringing someone into a Circle you own
(`saylek circles invite`, also spelled `saylek circles invites-mint`), and
[Troubleshooting](/docs/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.
