Generative AI for Beginners .NET is a hands-on course that teaches .NET developers to build applications using generative AI models and related tools. Its lessons use practical samples covering scenarios such as chat, audio transcription, agents, and local AI. The catalogue entries are add-ons associated with the course repository.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00491 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00246 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00098 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
cli-wiring 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.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to cli-wiring — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Skill: CLI Command Wiring
Bug class: Commands implemented in packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/ but never routed in cli-entry.ts.
Checklist — Adding a New CLI Command
-
Create command file in
packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/<name>.ts- Export a
run<Name>(cwd, options)async function (or class with static methods for utility modules)
- Export a
-
Add routing block in
packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.tsinsidemain():if (cmd === '<name>') { const { run<Name> } = await import('./cli/commands/<name>.js'); // parse args, call function await run<Name>(process.cwd(), options); return; } -
Add help text in the help section of
cli-entry.ts(search forCommands:):console.log(` ${BOLD}<name>${RESET} <description>`); console.log(` Usage: <name> [flags]`); -
Verify both exist — the recurring bug is doing step 1 but missing steps 2-3.
Wiring Patterns by Command Type
| Type | Example | How to wire |
|---|---|---|
| Standard command | export.ts, build.ts |
run*() function, parse flags from args |
| Placeholder command | loop, cast (alias: hire) |
Inline in cli-entry.ts, prints pending message |
| Utility/check module | rc-tunnel.ts, copilot-bridge.ts |
Wire as diagnostic check (e.g., isDevtunnelAvailable()) |
| Subcommand of another | init-remote.ts |
Already used inside parent + standalone alias |
Common Import Pattern
import { BOLD, RESET, DIM, RED, GREEN, YELLOW } from './cli/core/output.js';
Use dynamic await import() for command modules to keep startup fast (lazy loading).
History
- #237 / PR #244: 4 commands wired (rc, copilot-bridge, init-remote, rc-tunnel). aspire, link, loop, cast (née hire) were already present.
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.

cli-wiring is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/Generative-AI-for-beginners-dotnet (3,047 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 491 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to cli-wiring, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
