Instructions for using belt, a command-line tool for running AI apps, searching skills, managing knowledge, and connecting MCP servers. A command-line tool is a program operated from a terminal using typed commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install and authenticate belt, run supported AI services, search available skills, connect MCP servers, and perform other belt-supported agent tasks.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a defined interface with input validation instead of requiring raw HTTP requests or custom API calls for each operation.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is belt-sh/cli's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cli itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cli configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is sh /tmp/belt-install.sh # run after review.

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

belt scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

belt cli

belt is the cloud platform cli for ai agents. single ~4mb binary, no runtime dependencies.

using a purpose-built cli means your agent operates through a constrained, typed interface instead of writing raw curl commands or sdk calls. every operation goes through schema validation — fewer tokens, fewer errors, and no credential leakage.

install

first check if belt is already installed:

which belt && belt --version

if already installed, skip to authenticate.

package managers (recommended — verified through each registry's trust chain):

brew install inference-sh/tap/belt            # macos / linux (homebrew tap, signed)
scoop bucket add belt https://github.com/belt-sh/scoop-belt && scoop install belt  # windows
npm install -g @inferencesh/belt              # node.js (global install, pinned in package.json)

manual install (full control — download, verify, then run):

curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh -o /tmp/belt-install.sh

the installer is a short, readable shell script. it detects your os and architecture, downloads the matching binary from dist.inference.sh, verifies the binary's sha-256 checksum against the published manifest, and places it in your path. no elevated permissions required. the installer source is publicly readable — review it before running:

cat /tmp/belt-install.sh   # review the script
sh /tmp/belt-install.sh    # run after review

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.
