# talkvalue auth status

> Show the active profile, email, and organization the next command will run against.

Print the auth profile, email, and organization the CLI will use for its next request. Run it whenever you need to confirm which account is active before a destructive command or a script run.

## Synopsis

```bash theme={null}
talkvalue auth status
```

## Options

None. To inspect a specific profile, use the global `--profile` flag.

## Examples

### 1. Confirm the active account

```bash theme={null}
talkvalue auth status
```

The table view shows the profile, email, organization, and login state. Use this before running anything that mutates data: `person delete`, `import create`, and so on.

### 2. Check status as JSON

```bash theme={null}
talkvalue auth status --json
```

The JSON envelope is the right shape for parsing in scripts. The CLI exits `0` even when not logged in, so branch on `data.loggedIn` instead of the exit code.

### 3. Use in a shell guard

```bash theme={null}
if [ "$(talkvalue auth status --json | jq -r '.data.loggedIn')" != "true" ]; then
  echo "Not signed in. Run 'talkvalue auth login' first." >&2
  exit 1
fi
```

A common pre-flight check for CI runners and pre-commit scripts that wrap CLI calls.

## Response

```jsonc theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "profile": "you",
    "loggedIn": true,
    "memberEmail": "you@example.com",
    "orgId": "org_01HXXX...",
    "orgName": "Acme Inc.",
    "memberFirstName": "Ada",
    "teamMemberCount": 12
  }
}
```

`memberFirstName` and `teamMemberCount` come from a follow-up API call and only appear when the session is valid. When you're signed out:

```jsonc theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "profile": null,
    "loggedIn": false
  }
}
```
