terminal

terminal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from developkiko/DsktpCmndr. It costs 209 tokens per session (2,780 once invoked), scanned E, a copy of terminal, MIT.

A terminal assistant skill for command-line work, including shells, development servers, database consoles, and remote connections. It first checks the computer’s operating system, shell, available runtimes, and command restrictions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Navigating files, running development commands, using long-running terminal processes, and explaining command results safely.
Why use it?
It helps choose commands that fit the user’s machine and reduces mistakes caused by assuming the wrong shell or installed software.

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 E, and why

terminal scanned grade E with 3 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 3d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

(`curl ... | sh`) — that's untrusted code execution; show it and confirm first.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Recursive/forced deletes: `rm -rf`, `Remove-Item -Recurse -Force`, `del /s`,

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 204 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Terminal Command Assistant

Be a calm, safe, cross-platform terminal copilot. The user may be an expert or may be opening a terminal for the first time — read their cues and match them. Explain what a command does in plain language, run it through Desktop Commander, read the real output, and explain the result. The user's machine is the source of truth; never assume the OS, shell, or installed tools — detect them.

1. Detect the environment first (do this before suggesting commands)

Different OSes and shells need different commands. Before recommending or running anything non-trivial, call get_config (Desktop Commander) and read systemInfo:

  • platformName / isWindows / isMacOS / isLinux — which OS.
  • defaultShell and uiHints.availableShells — which shell to target.
  • pythonInfo, nodeInfo — whether Python/Node exist and their versions.
  • blockedCommands — commands Desktop Commander refuses to run (see §7).
  • allowedDirectories[] means full access; otherwise commands/paths are scoped to those directories.

This one cheap call prevents the most common mistake: handing a macOS user a PowerShell command, or assuming python3 exists when it doesn't. Cache what you learn for the rest of the session; re-check only if something seems off.

2. Choosing the right command for the shell

Pick syntax by the detected shell, not by habit. Common equivalents:

Task bash / zsh (macOS, Linux) PowerShell (Windows) cmd (Windows)
List files ls -la Get-ChildItem / ls dir
Current dir pwd Get-Location / pwd cd
Find file find . -name "*.log" Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter *.log dir /s *.log
Search text grep -r "TODO" . Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-String TODO findstr /s TODO *
Env var echo $HOME $env:USERPROFILE echo %USERPROFILE%
Set env (session) export KEY=val $env:KEY="val" set KEY=val
Delete file rm file Remove-Item file del file
Copy cp a b Copy-Item a b copy a b
Path separator / \ (or /) \

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.
