npx-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jwynia/agent-skills. It costs 138 tokens per session (2,477 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide for creating and publishing npx-executable command-line tools with Bun and npm-compatible output. npx lets users run a package's command directly from a terminal without installing it globally.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a CLI tool, configure its arguments and terminal output, make it runnable with npx, or publish it to npm.
Why use it?
It avoids repeated setup decisions for argument handling, terminal output, building, and npm publication.

Getting it into your agent

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

npx-cli scanned grade A 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/scaffold.ts, templates/bunup.config.ts, templates/eslint.config.ts, …), 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

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.
