knock-cli

knock-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from knocklabs/skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,908 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for using the Knock command-line tool, which manages notification workflows and message templates in a Knock project. It covers the project layout, commands, reusable template parts, and in-app messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing or authenticating Knock, initializing a project, managing workflows and templates, creating in-app guides, or maintaining reusable email template parts.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand how Knock files are organized and how to work with them consistently. This reduces guesswork when setting up, pulling, pushing, or editing notification resources.

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

knock-cli 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 today.

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.

Knock CLI skill

This skill provides comprehensive guidelines for working with the Knock CLI to manage workflows, templates, and other notification resources.

Overview

The Knock CLI skill includes detailed rule sets covering:

  1. CLI installation and authentication - How to install and authenticate with the Knock CLI
  2. Knock directory structure - Understanding the knock directory layout and configuration
  3. CLI commands reference - Pull, push, and resource management commands
  4. Workflow templates - Structures, patterns, and best practices for workflows and templates
  5. Guides and message types - Working with in-app guides for lifecycle messaging and message types as their schema
  6. Partials - Reusable template building blocks for email design systems

How to use this skill

For initial setup

When setting up a new project with Knock:

  1. Start with installation and authentication (rules/cli-installation-authentication.md)

    • Verify the CLI is installed
    • Authenticate with a service token or dashboard account
    • Initialize the project with knock init
  2. Understand the directory structure (rules/knock-directory-structure.md)

    • Learn the knock.json configuration
    • Understand resource organization

For managing resources

When working with Knock resources:

  1. Use the CLI commands reference (rules/cli-commands-reference.md)

    • Pull resources from Knock to your local project
    • Push changes back to Knock
    • Work with specific resource types
  2. Follow workflow and template guidelines (rules/workflow-templates.md)

    • Understand template modes and structures
    • Avoid common mistakes with file paths and variables
    • Follow best practices for workflow modifications

For managing guides and message types

When working with in-app guides (banners, modals, announcements):

  1. Start with guides and message types (rules/guides-and-message-types.md)
    • Understand that guides are separate from workflows (lifecycle messaging vs notifications)
    • Message types define the schema; guides reference them via schema_key and schema_variant_key
    • Use built-in types (banner, modal, card) when possible; create custom message types when needed

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.
