# lua production

> Read-only summary of what is live in production, with the persona, skills, and environment variables

`lua production` prints what the agent is running in [production](/concepts/environments): the deployed persona, the deployed skill versions, and the production environment variables. The non-interactive forms change nothing.

*Verified against lua-cli 3.33.0.*

## Synopsis

```bash theme={null}
lua production [overview|persona|skills|env]
```

## Description

With no action the command opens a menu with the same three sections. An action prints one section and exits without any "Press Enter" pause.

`overview` prints the deployed persona version with the first 80 characters of its text, the number of skills in `lua.skill.yaml` with up to three names, and the number of production environment variables with up to three keys.

`persona` prints the deployed persona version, date, creator, and full text, then the total number of versions. When nothing is deployed it lists the available versions instead.

`skills` prints each skill in `lua.skill.yaml` with its ID, deployed version number and date, and total number of versions. Unlike [`lua skills view`](/reference/cli/skills), this section shows the per-skill version numbers.

`env` lists the production environment variables with masked values: the first four characters followed by asterisks. The interactive `env` section can also add, update, delete, and reveal variables; from a script use [`lua env production -k <KEY> -v <value>`](/reference/cli/env), `--delete`, or `--list` instead.

The command has no options of its own. It needs a project directory and a credential.

## Arguments

| Argument | Values                                 | Description               |
| -------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `action` | `overview`, `persona`, `skills`, `env` | Omit it to open the menu. |

Accepted spellings: `summary`, `status` → `overview`; `skill` → `skills`; `environment` → `env`. Anything else exits `2` with the valid values.

## Options
