nushell

nushell is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ifiokjr/monopi. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,644 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A reference for Nushell, a shell that works with structured data in pipelines instead of plain text like traditional Bash commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to translate shell commands, find files, filter pipeline data, handle variables, and write Nushell scripts.
Why use it?
It prevents common command and syntax mistakes when working in Nushell.

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 C, and why

nushell scanned grade C 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 5d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

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

11. **`rm` is safer**: no `rm -rf` needed, just `rm -r`

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 334 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nushell Skill

Use this skill whenever the user's shell is Nushell (nu). All shell commands provided to the user must use Nushell syntax, not Bash/POSIX syntax.

Core Concepts

Nushell treats everything as structured data. Pipelines pass tables, lists, and records: not plain text. This is the single biggest difference from Bash.

Variables

# Immutable (preferred)
let name = "world"
let files = (ls)                    # Parentheses for subexpressions
let big = (ls | where size > 10kb)

# Mutable
mut count = 0
$count += 1

# Constants (parse-time evaluation)
const config_dir = "~/.config"

# Environment variables: use $env.VAR, NOT $VAR
$env.PATH
$env.HOME
$env.PWD
let path = $env.PATH | append "/usr/local/bin"

# $in: the current pipeline input
[1 2 3] | $in.1                     # => 2
ls | $in | where size > 1mb

Commands (not like Bash)

Nushell has structured commands, not text-processing tools:

Task Bash Nushell
List files ls -la ls (already structured)
Long listing ls -la ls -l or ls --long
Find files recursively find . -name '*.rs' ls **/*.rs
Filter by condition grep pattern where name =~ "pattern" or find "text"
Sort sort sort-by size
Take first N head -5 first 5
Take last N tail -3 last 3
Skip N tail -n +5 skip 4
Read file cat file.txt open file.txt or open --raw file.txt
Write file echo "text" > f.txt "text" | save f.txt
Append to file echo "text" >> f.txt "text" | save --append f.txt
Parse CSV complex open data.csv (auto-detects)
Parse JSON jq open data.json (auto-detects)
Count lines wc -l length
Search in files grep -r pattern dir/ rg (via ^rg) or ls **/*.rs | where (open $in.name | str contains "TODO")
Replace in strings sed 's/a/b/g' str replace --all 'a' 'b'
Parse date date -d "..." "2024-01-01" | into datetime
Get help man cmd help cmd or help commands | find substring

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.

nushell is a skill published in the GitHub repository ifiokjr/monopi (149 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,644 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
