help

A help command that shows the commands currently available to the user. It works in a command-line tool, web chat, or messaging apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for answering requests such as /help, /commands, or “what commands can I use?” with a readable list.
Why use it?
It avoids outdated help text by fetching the current command list whenever someone asks for help.

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.

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

help 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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Help — list commands

Show a concise, LIVE list of all available commands. Never hardcode — always pull from the list_commands MCP tool so recently installed or removed skills are reflected.

Steps

  1. Detect the surface. If the incoming message has a <channel source="..."> marker, you're on a messaging channel. Otherwise you're on CLI or WebChat.

  2. Call list_commands with the right format:

    • CLI / WebChat: list_commands({ format: "table", includeTools: false }) — grouped markdown, readable.
    • Messaging (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage): list_commands({ format: "compact", includeTools: false }) — one line per command, mobile-friendly.

    Leave includeTools: false for the user-facing help — MCP tools are agent-invoked, not user-typed. Users who want the internals can ask "what MCP tools do you have?" and you call with includeTools: true.

  3. Print the output from the tool as-is. Do not rewrite or reorder.

  4. Adapt formatting to the channel after the tool output:

    • WhatsApp: strip **bold***bold*, remove markdown headers if too noisy
    • Telegram: keep **bold** or convert to HTML
    • Discord: markdown as-is
    • iMessage: strip markdown to plain text
    • CLI / WebChat: markdown as-is
  5. Append a short native-tools note at the end (only on CLI):

    Native Claude Code commands (CLI only): /status /usage /cost /compact /clear /mcp /model /help
    

Example flows

CLI user asks /help

Call list_commands({ format: "table", includeTools: false }). Print the returned markdown. Append the native-tools note.

WhatsApp user says "what can you do?"

Call list_commands({ format: "compact", includeTools: false }). Convert any **bold** to *bold*. Don't include the native-tools note (doesn't apply).

Notes

  • /help and /commands are aliases.
  • Keep the response short on mobile channels. compact format handles that.
  • If the user wants the internals ("tools", "MCP"), call with includeTools: true so they see them too.
  • If nothing comes back, something's wrong with the install — suggest /agent:doctor.

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.

help is a skill published in the GitHub repository crisandrews/ClawCode (62 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 589 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
