add-cli

A procedure for adding a new AI coding-agent command-line tool to CodeHub, including its runtime installation and app integration.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps install the tool, add its command and aliases, register it in the frontend, configure its settings directory when needed, and rebuild the runtime.
Why use it?
It keeps the command available in the runtime and aligned across the Rust backend and frontend, avoiding entries that appear in the interface but cannot start.

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.

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

add-cli scanned grade C with 2 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Add a new CLI to CodeHub

Adding a CLI is a four-file change. Skipping any step will produce silent runtime failures (modal entry exists but session dies, or vice versa). Do all four in one commit.

1. Dockerfile — install the binary

Edit runtime/Dockerfile. Add a RUN line in the install block:

# <Name> (<vendor>)
RUN curl -fsSL <install-url> | bash
# or
RUN npm install -g <package>

Verify the binary lands on PATH. Some installers drop binaries to ~/.local/bin — the Dockerfile already exports that via ENV PATH. Others install to /usr/local/bin (npm) automatically.

If the CLI needs a config dir, add an ENV line so the path is predictable and mountable under /config:

ENV <NAME>_CONFIG_DIR=/config/<name>

2. Rust — Cli enum

Edit src-tauri/src/docker.rs:

  • Add a variant to enum Cli.
  • Update Cli::binary() to return the executable name on PATH.
  • Update Cli::parse() to accept the lowercase id (and any sensible aliases).

The enum has #[serde(rename_all = "lowercase")], so the frontend sends the lowercase variant name.

3. Frontend — CLIS array + Cli type

Edit src/app/lib/catalog.ts. Add an entry to the CLIS: CliSpec[] array with:

  • id: matches the lowercase enum variant
  • label: display name (e.g. "Claude Code")
  • alias: short bird name used in the auto-generated session alias (e.g. "Owl")
  • species: Latin/common species (decorative — the ornithological-field-journal vibe)
  • bird: #bird-<slug> referencing an SVG symbol id in index.html

In the same file, add the new CLI to MODE_SUPPORT with its allowed launch modes (["standard", "auto", "yolo"], or ["standard"] if flags are unverified).

Extend the Cli type union in src/app/lib/ipc.ts:

export type Cli = "claude" | "codex" | "antigravity" | "<new-id>";

4. SVG sprite — bird silhouette

Edit index.html. Add a <symbol id="bird-<slug>" viewBox="0 0 64 64"> inside the existing <defs> block. Keep it a single-colour silhouette path that uses fill="currentColor" so the tab/modal colour transitions still apply. Bird species choice matters — pick one whose vibe matches the CLI's personality (owl = thoughtful, raven = scribe, falcon = speed, kingfisher = precise, etc.).

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.

add-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository mpolatcan/codehub (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 937 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
