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.

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 | $0.00127 | $0.02124 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00051 | $0.00850 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00425 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00212 |
Grade A, and why
cli-creator 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 226 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
TermUI CLI Creator
Your job is to build a complete, working CLI project for the user using TermUI. The output is real code — a runnable TypeScript app.
TermUI is a React/Ink-based terminal UI framework. 101 components. Shadcn-style: npx termui add <component> copies source files into the user's project. No runtime registry dependency.
Step 1 — Interview the user
Before writing a single line of code, understand what they're building. Ask these questions (you can batch them):
- What does the CLI do? What problem does it solve? (e.g., "manage my deployment configs", "browse GitHub PRs", "monitor server metrics")
- What are the main screens or commands? Does it have subcommands (like
mytool deploy,mytool logs) or is it one interactive TUI session? - What data does it work with? Lists of things? Forms to fill in? Real-time metrics? File browsing?
- Any interactions? Search? Filters? Edit/create/delete? Confirm dialogs?
- Visual style? Any theme preference? (Dracula, Nord, Catppuccin, Monokai, Solarized, Tokyo Night, One Dark, or default purple) — default to Dracula if they don't care
- Tech context? Do they already have a Node project, or are we starting from zero?
If the request is clear enough (e.g., "build me a Docker container manager with a table view and a detail panel"), skip questions you can infer and just clarify the ones that would change the component selection.
Step 2 — Choose a CLI pattern
Map what they described to one of these patterns. Patterns can be combined.
| Pattern | When to use | Core components |
|---|---|---|
| Data Browser | Browse/search/filter a list of items | AppShell + Table or VirtualList + SearchInput |
| Dashboard | Real-time metrics, logs, charts | AppShell + Tabs + BarChart/Gauge/Sparkline + useInterval |
| Setup Wizard | Onboarding, init, configuration | SetupFlow + TextInput/Select/MultiSelect + Spinner |
| CRUD Manager | Create / read / update / delete resources | AppShell + Table + Form/FormField + Modal/Confirm |
| Auth Flow | Login, token entry, account setup | LoginFlow + TextInput/PasswordInput + SetupFlow |
| Log Viewer | Streaming logs, event feeds | AppShell + Log + StatusMessage + useAsync |
| File Browser | Navigate filesystem, pick files | AppShell + DirectoryTree or FilePicker |
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository Arindam200/termui (140 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 2,124 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
