cratis-cli-terminal-workbench

cratis-cli-terminal-workbench is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/AI. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,662 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to the terminal Workbench in the Cratis command-line tool. It is a full-screen text interface for exploring a running event store, including its events, observers, failures, projections, and read models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find event types, observers, failed work, projections, or read models while investigating a running Chronicle store.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly entering separate commands and helps you inspect related parts of one event store in one place. It also distinguishes this terminal tool from the separate browser Workbench.

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

cratis-cli-terminal-workbench 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 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.

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 — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The terminal Workbench

cratis chronicle workbench opens a full-screen terminal view over one event store and namespace. It is the CLI's exploration surface: the same read-only data the individual cratis chronicle … commands return, arranged so you can move between observers, failures, jobs, events, projections and read models without re-typing a connection.

"Workbench" names two different products. This skill is about the terminal Workbench that ships in the cratis CLI. The browser Workbench is a separate React application served by the Chronicle server, with a different and larger capability set — including redaction and revision, which the terminal Workbench does not have.

Verified product sources

This skill is verified against this exact source:

Package Version Purpose
Cratis.Cli 2.4.0 cratis chronicle workbench, its views, keys, and actions

Reverify before claiming a view, key binding, or action for another version. cratis chronicle workbench --help and cratis llm-context are the authority for the installed version.

Launch it

cratis chronicle workbench                     # active context, default event store and namespace
cratis chronicle workbench -e <store> -n <ns>  # explicit event store and namespace
cratis chronicle workbench --interval <secs>   # refresh cadence, default 5

It requires an interactive terminal and the table output format. Asking for json, plain, or json-compact is rejected with a validation error — that is the correct behavior, not a bug. When you need machine-readable output, use the individual cratis chronicle … commands instead, which is also the right choice inside a script, a pipeline, or an agent harness.

Connection, event store and namespace resolve exactly as they do for every other cratis chronicle command: --server, then CHRONICLE_CONNECTION_STRING, then the active context, then chronicle://localhost:35000. Confirm the context before opening a view onto a production store.

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.
