agent-native-design

agent-native-design is a skill for Codex from HK-hub/AgentSkills. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,783 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-native-design, MIT.

A design guide for command-line tools that need to work for people, AI agents, and automated systems. It covers predictable commands, readable output, errors, authentication, and safety boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or redesign a CLI, turn an API or SDK into a CLI, and define help text, JSON output, exit codes, dry runs, and authentication flows.
Why use it?
It helps find interface decisions that make a CLI difficult for agents or automation to use reliably.

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

agent-native-design 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-metadata.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Purpose

This skill helps analyze, design, and refactor command-line tools so they can reliably serve humans, AI agents, and orchestration systems at the same time.

It is not a skill for merely using a CLI. It is a skill for designing and reviewing a CLI as an agent-native interface.

The skill focuses on four goals:

  1. Make CLI behavior predictable for AI agents.
  2. Make CLI output readable and recoverable for humans.
  3. Make CLI execution manageable for systems and orchestrators.
  4. Define a complete interaction loop from authentication to error routing.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • evaluate whether an existing CLI is agent-friendly
  • redesign a CLI to better support AI agents
  • convert an API or SDK into an agent-native CLI
  • review help output, schema design, exit codes, or JSON contracts
  • design dry-run, auth delegation, or safety boundaries
  • generate CLI skills, docs, or interface conventions from schema
  • refactor a human-oriented CLI into a machine-friendly one
  • define how a CLI should interact with an agent runtime

Typical prompts include:

  • "Review this CLI and tell me whether it is agent-native."
  • "Design a CLI for this API that an AI agent can use reliably."
  • "Refactor this tool so stdout is machine-readable and safer for agents."
  • "Help me define schema introspection, dry-run, and exit code semantics."

When not to use this skill

Do not use this skill when the user only wants:

  • help running a specific command
  • installation help for a CLI
  • shell troubleshooting unrelated to interface design
  • generic Linux or terminal tutorials
  • agent planning or memory design unrelated to tools
  • API business logic review without any CLI/tooling layer

Core model

An agent-native CLI must simultaneously serve three audiences.

1. Human

Needs: readable output, friendly error messages, onboarding guidance. Channels: stderr, optional --format table, interactive TUI when appropriate.

Changes

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.
