A skill for finding, installing, updating, removing, and running external command-line tools through Advai CLI, a tool manager.

Use it to discover available tools, inspect their commands, install tool definitions from GitHub, or run supported tools.

It keeps external command-line tools in one managed workflow and explains when required tools are missing.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add Advai-X/advai-skills --skill advai-cli

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Advai-X/advai-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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 5.1	$0.00046	$0.00628
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.00314
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00126
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00063

Security

Grade A, and why

advai-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 10d 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.

Advai External CLI

Use this skill to work with external CLIs managed through advai cli.

When to Invoke

Invoke this skill when the user wants to:

Discover available external CLIs
Inspect what an external CLI supports
Install CLI definitions from a GitHub repository
Update or uninstall an already managed external CLI
Execute a supported external CLI through advai cli <name> ...

Do not use this skill for built-in advai commands such as browser, skill, kb, or tui.

Preconditions

This skill depends on the advai CLI from https://github.com/Advai-X/advai-cli.

Before running commands:

Ensure advai is installed and available on PATH.
Ensure the advai cli subcommand is available in the current installation.
If advai cli is missing, stop and guide the user to install or upgrade advai from https://github.com/Advai-X/advai-cli.
Ensure opencli is installed and available on PATH.

Start with:

advai cli list

If opencli is missing, report that clearly before attempting install or execution.

Core Commands

Discover and inspect:

advai cli list
advai cli list --search <text>
advai cli info <name>

Install from GitHub:

advai cli install <github-url>
advai cli install <github-url> --cli <name>

Maintain installed CLIs:

advai cli update <name> --yes
advai cli uninstall <name> --yes

Execute through advai:

advai cli <name> ...

Operating Guidelines

Use advai cli info <name> before execution when the command set is unfamiliar.
Use --search to narrow a large registry.
Use --cli <name> when a GitHub repo contains multiple CLI definitions.
Prefer the proxied advai cli <name> ... form when the user wants a stable entrypoint through advai.
If install or update fails, capture both stdout and stderr because the wrapped toolchain can surface useful diagnostics there.
If advai cli is not recognized at runtime, direct the user to install or upgrade advai from https://github.com/Advai-X/advai-cli before proceeding.

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.
