Output and errors

Every command except usc skill prints JSON to stdout: exactly the value the matching Go library call returns. Lists print as JSON arrays.

JSON is indented in a terminal and single-line when piped or redirected. Force either with --pretty or --compact.

usc brightspace courses --compact | jq '.[].name'

Errors

Errors are JSON on stderr, and the command exits with status 1. When another command fixes the problem, action names it:

{"error":"brightspace: USC sign-in is required","action":"usc auth login"}
