A command for Ink.js, a library for building terminal interfaces with React. It provides design patterns and guidance for components, navigation, animation, state, layout, input, testing, and troubleshooting.

Use it to ask about Ink.js components, multi-screen navigation, spinners, state management, responsive terminal layouts, input handling, testing, or common issues.

It gives developers a focused way to look up established approaches and solutions when building command-line interfaces.

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.

agentmods

npx agentmods add commands/akiojin/skills/inkjs-cli

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/akiojin/skills

Per session 9 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 643 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00009	$0.00643
Opus 5	$0.00005	$0.00321
Sonnet 5	$0.00002	$0.00129
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00064

Security

Grade A, and why

inkjs-cli 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 2d ago.

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 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.
