Setup (check before using)

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/check_setup.rb

If the output is OK, proceed to the Flow section.

If the output is SETUP_NEEDED, guide the user step by step. Present ONE step at a time, wait for the user to confirm before moving to the next.

Step 1 — Ask the user to create an API token:

You need a Heroku API token. You can create one with the Heroku CLI:

heroku authorizations:create -d "hitank"

Or go to Account Settings on the Heroku Dashboard and find the API Key section: https://dashboard.heroku.com/account

Copy the token and paste it here.

Step 2 — When the user pastes the token, save it:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/save_token.rb 'PASTED_TOKEN'

If the script outputs an error, the token is invalid. Ask the user to double-check and try again.

If setup is not complete, DO NOT proceed to the Flow. Complete all steps first.

Flow

The argument $ARGUMENTS may contain an app name or ID.

Step 1: List apps

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/apps.rb

Present the apps to the user. If $ARGUMENTS matches an app name, use that app. Otherwise ask which app to work with.

Step 2: Show app details

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/app.rb APP_NAME

Present the app info and ask what the user wants to do.

Step 3: Actions

List dynos:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/dynos.rb APP

List config vars (masked):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/config_vars.rb APP

Reveal config vars:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/config_vars.rb APP --reveal

List releases:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/releases.rb APP

List add-ons:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/addons.rb APP

List domains:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/domains.rb APP

List formation (scaling info):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/formation.rb APP

Get log session URL:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/logs.rb APP
ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/logs.rb APP --lines 200

Restart all dynos (requires user confirmation):

Show current dynos first, then ask: "Do you want to restart all dynos for this app?" Only execute after a "yes".

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/restart.rb APP

Scale a process type (requires user confirmation):

Show current formation first, then ask: "Do you want to scale TYPE to QUANTITY?" Only execute after a "yes".

ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/scale.rb APP TYPE QUANTITY
ruby ~/.claude/skills/heroku/scripts/scale.rb APP TYPE QUANTITY SIZE

Notes

• Pure Ruby, zero gems — stdlib only (json, net/http, uri, fileutils)
• Auth via Bearer token with custom Heroku Accept header
• Token file: ~/.config/heroku/token (outside the repo, never commit)
• Restarting dynos and scaling require explicit user confirmation
• Base URL: https://api.heroku.com
