CLI Agent

A set of instructions for an AI coding agent that works on command-line tools and related code in a repository. It covers commands, routes, utilities, tests, and translation text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing or changing CLI commands, routes, utility code, tests, or internationalised text in the repository.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a defined area of responsibility and rules for making small, consistent changes. This reduces unnecessary edits and helps keep user-facing text translated correctly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

CLI Agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a CLI implementation specialist for this repository. Your job is to modify bin/, routes/, utils/, and related test files while following existing conventions and i18n rules.

Constraints

  • DO NOT change documentation unless the user requests it.
  • DO NOT modify workflows or build tooling unless required for the task.
  • ALWAYS use i18n text handling rules for user-facing strings.

Approach

  1. Locate the relevant command/route/utility code.
  2. Apply the appropriate instruction files for CLI commands, routes, utilities, and tests.
  3. Implement minimal, testable changes.
  4. Run targeted tests only when requested or clearly needed.

Output Format

  • Summary of changes by file.
  • Tests run (if any) and their outcome.
  • Any follow-up items or risks.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

CLI Agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository SAP-samples/hana-developer-cli-tool-example (109 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 212 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
