worker-cli

A work procedure for changing a Rust command-line application, a program operated through typed terminal commands. It covers commands, MCP server features, transports, authentication, tests, dependencies, and related documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing Rust CLI commands, MCP tools, connection methods, authentication, integrations, tests, dependencies, or CLI documentation.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent process for implementing and verifying changes across the CLI and its supporting files.

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

worker-cli 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLI Worker

NOTE: Startup and cleanup are handled by worker-base. This skill defines the WORK PROCEDURE.

When to Use This Skill

Features that modify the Rust CLI at ./cli/. This includes:

  • MCP server tools, transports, and modes (rmcp SDK)
  • CLI commands (init, config, inject, deploy cloudflare, shares, auth, usage, etc.)
  • Integration tests and unit tests
  • Dependency changes in Cargo.toml
  • CLI-adjacent docs / README / templates under ./ and ./docs/
  • Version bumps and git tag creation (when explicitly the feature goal)

Required Skills

  • tuistory — REQUIRED when implementing or verifying any interactive CLI prompt (stdin TTY). Invoke before driving prompts like spikes init's hosted/self-host selection or spikes deploy cloudflare's hosted-warning confirmation. Each tuistory session counts as one interactiveChecks entry in the handoff. Evidence requirement: for any feature that adds or modifies an interactive prompt, your handoff's verification.interactiveChecks MUST contain at least one entry per prompt branch (e.g., both the default and non-default answers) with the full action transcript. A handoff that lacks tuistory evidence for a prompt feature will be flagged as incomplete by scrutiny.
  • agent-browser — REQUIRED when the feature includes an end-to-end widget-in-page flow (e.g., golden-path spikes initspikes inject → widget POST to https://spikes.sh/spikes served via widget-test-server). Use it to click the widget button, submit a test spike, and capture network logs for the live POST response. Do not substitute with curl when an assertion calls for a real browser interaction.

Work Procedure

  1. Read the feature description thoroughly. Understand preconditions, expected behavior, and verification steps.

  2. Understand current code. Read relevant source files in ./cli/src/. Key files:

    • main.rs — Command routing (clap derive). MCP already wired.
    • commands/mcp.rs — MCP server (SpikesService, DataSource, TransportMode, all 9 tools)
    • commands/export.rs — Export formats (EXTEND with new variants)
    • spike.rs — Data models (Spike, Rating, SpikeType, is_resolved())
    • storage.rs — load_spikes() reads .spikes/feedback.jsonl
    • error.rs — Error types
    • Cargo.toml — Dependencies

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.

worker-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository bierlingm/spikes (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 2,210 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
