AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
The teamcity-cli skill provides a comprehensive interface to interact with TeamCity servers directly from the terminal. It enables developers and DevOps engineers to manage the full lifecycle of CI/CD operations, including triggering builds, monitoring logs, managing build configurations, and overseeing agent pools. The tool supports various output formats, including JSON for programmatic integration, and provides specific commands for investigating build failures and managing pipeline configurations.
What it does
- Authenticates with TeamCity servers and manages session status
- Lists, starts, watches, and cancels build runs
- Retrieves build logs, test results, and artifacts
- Manages build jobs, project settings, and VCS connections
- Monitors and controls build queues and agent pools
- Validates and deploys pipeline configurations
When to use it
- When you need to investigate failed builds or build chains
- When automating CI/CD tasks via scripts or shell commands
- When managing TeamCity infrastructure like agents and pools
- When you need to quickly check the status of a build or queue
- When performing pipeline configuration management
Advantages
- Provides direct terminal access to TeamCity functionality
- Supports JSON output for easy integration with tools like jq
- Enables deep diagnostics for build failures and dependency trees
- Allows for non-interactive scripting via environment variables
- Simplifies management of complex build chains and pipelines
Usage examples
- “Find all failed builds in the last 24 hours”
- The agent runs teamcity run list --status failure --since 24h to display a list of recent failed builds.
- “Show me the logs for build ID 12345”
- The agent executes teamcity run log 12345 --raw to retrieve and display the full build log.
- “Get the status of all build agents”
- The agent runs teamcity agent list to provide a table of all connected agents and their status.
- “Validate my pipeline configuration before pushing”
- The agent runs teamcity pipeline validate to ensure the local configuration is correct before deployment.

Documentation by Cline
TeamCity CLI (teamcity)
Quick Start
teamcity auth status # Check authentication
teamcity run list --status failure # Find failed builds
teamcity run log <id> --failed --raw # Full failure diagnosticsDo not guess flags or syntax. Use the command reference or teamcity <command> --help. Builds are runs (teamcity run); build configurations are jobs (teamcity job). Never use --count — use --limit (or -n).
Gotchas
Composite builds have empty logs — drill into child builds for the actual failure.
Build chains fail bottom-up — deepest failed dependency is the root cause. Use
teamcity run tree <id>.--local-changesexcludes Kotlin DSL — push.teamcity/changes before running.TEAMCITY_URLalone bypasses stored auth — set bothTEAMCITY_URLandTEAMCITY_TOKEN, or leave unset.Logs: use
--rawand dump to a temp file. Builds: use--watchwhen starting them.VCS triggers aren't always wired up — after pushing a fix you may need to start builds manually.
pipeline pushdoes not validate — alwaysteamcity pipeline validatefirst.GitHub VCS roots: use a GitHub App connection. Never paste a PAT via
--auth password. See workflows.
