repl

repl is a command for Claude Code from MadAppGang/magus. It costs 48 tokens per session (957 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive terminal session for database shells and programming-language consoles, such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Python, and Node.js. It opens the session, runs queries or expressions, and closes it cleanly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query databases, evaluate code interactively, inspect results, and work with other command-line REPLs.
Why use it?
It handles prompts and session state that ordinary one-off commands cannot manage reliably. This lets an agent perform several related actions in the same console.

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

repl 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 1mo 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.

/terminal:repl

Opens an interactive REPL or database shell, executes queries or expressions, and closes it when done.

Usage

/terminal:repl {application} [query]

Examples

Database shells:

/terminal:repl psql $DATABASE_URL
/terminal:repl "psql -d myapp" "SELECT count(*) FROM users"
/terminal:repl mongosh $MONGO_URI
/terminal:repl redis-cli

Language REPLs:

/terminal:repl python3
/terminal:repl node
/terminal:repl "bun repl"

What It Does

  1. Opens the REPL in an isolated slot and blocks until its prompt appears:
    mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__start-and-watch({ slot: 2, isolated: true, command: "python3", pattern: ">>>" })
    → { "slot": 2, "created": true, "event": "pattern:>>>", "detail": "Ready — matched: >>>", "elapsed": 0.51, "output": "…", "paneState": { "foregroundCmd": "Python", "isAlive": true, "waitingForInput": true } }
    
  2. Executes each query with run-in-repl, which returns the output between the input and the next prompt:
    mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__run-in-repl({ slot: 2, input: "1+1", promptPattern: ">>>", timeout: 10 })
    → { "slot": 2, "created": false, "output": "1+1\n2", "exited": false }
    
  3. Closes the slot. close-pane interrupts the REPL, so no exit command is needed:
    mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__close-pane({ slot: 2 }) → [{ "slot": 2, "action": "killed" }]
    

Use slot 2 unless mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__list-slots shows it is taken; then pick the next free number. isolated: true needs an explicit slot on start-and-watch.

Prompt Patterns

Application pattern / promptPattern
psql "=#"
mongosh ">"
redis-cli "127\\.0\\.0\\.1:\\d+>"
python3 ">>>"
node / bun "> "
irb "irb>"
turso shell ">"

Multi-Query Sessions

Each query is one run-in-repl call; output holds the full response, however long:

mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__run-in-repl({ slot: 2, input: "SELECT count(*) FROM users;", promptPattern: "=#" })
mcp__plugin_terminal_mux__run-in-repl({ slot: 2, input: "SELECT * FROM settings LIMIT 5;", promptPattern: "=#" })

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.

repl is a command published in the GitHub repository MadAppGang/magus (13 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 957 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-04.
