ai-native-cli

ai-native-cli is a skill for Claude Code from lingxling/awesome-skills-cn. It costs 44 tokens per session (3,549 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ai-native-cli, MIT.

A specification for building command-line tools that AI agents can use safely and predictably. A command-line tool is a program operated through a terminal; the guide covers JSON output, input validation, errors, exit codes, safety checks, and self-description.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, updating, or auditing a command-line tool used by agents or automation pipelines. It defines checks for structured output, fail-closed behavior, and agent-readable interfaces.
Why use it?
It reduces failures caused by unclear inputs, inconsistent output, unsafe actions, and poor error reporting in automated tool use.

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

ai-native-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 19d 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.

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.

Agent-Friendly CLI Spec v0.1

When building or modifying CLI tools, follow these rules to make them safe and reliable for AI agents to use.

Overview

A comprehensive design specification for building AI-native CLI tools. It defines 98 rules across three certification levels (Agent-Friendly, Agent-Ready, Agent-Native) with prioritized requirements (P0/P1/P2). The spec covers structured JSON output, error handling, input contracts, safety guardrails, exit codes, self-description, and a feedback loop via a built-in issue system.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when building a new CLI tool that AI agents will invoke
  • Use when retrofitting an existing CLI to be agent-friendly
  • Use when designing command-line interfaces for automation pipelines
  • Use when auditing a CLI tool's compliance with agent-safety standards

Core Philosophy

  1. Agent-first -- default output is JSON; human-friendly is opt-in via --human
  2. Agent is untrusted -- validate all input at the same level as a public API
  3. Fail-Closed -- when validation logic itself errors, deny by default
  4. Verifiable -- every rule is written so it can be automatically checked

Layer Model

This spec uses two orthogonal axes:

  • Layer answers rollout scope: core, recommended, ecosystem
  • Priority answers severity: P0, P1, P2

Use layers for migration and certification:

  • core -- execution contract: JSON, errors, exit codes, stdout/stderr, safety
  • recommended -- better machine UX: self-description, explicit modes, richer schemas
  • ecosystem -- agent-native integration: agent/, skills, issue, inline context

Certification maps to layers:

  • Agent-Friendly -- all core rules pass
  • Agent-Ready -- all core + recommended rules pass
  • Agent-Native -- all layers pass

How It Works

Step 1: Output Mode

Default is agent mode (JSON). Explicit flags to switch:

$ mycli list              # default = JSON output (agent mode)
$ mycli list --human      # human-friendly: colored, tables, formatted
$ mycli list --agent      # explicit agent mode (override config if needed)

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.
