claude-cli-agent

claude-cli-agent is a skill for Claude Code from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (682 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line dispatcher for sending source material and instructions to Claude CLI, Anthropic’s command-line coding tool, as a fresh specialized sub-agent task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run security audits, architecture reviews, quality checks, and code reviews with a chosen Claude model and persona.
Why use it?
It lets a workflow give an analysis its own role and context instead of relying on the main agent’s conversation. It is suited to tasks involving large inputs or specialized review.

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

claude-cli-agent 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 18d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/capability_profile.py, scripts/model_catalog.py, scripts/run_agent.py), 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Claude CLI Agent

Dispatch the authorized task using the bundled router.

Contents

Constraints

Reuse the user's runtime/model/effort choice; do not start an unrequested review. Use one backend; halt on failure without silent fallback. Analysis uses --isolated; it suppresses dangerous flags and adds instructions, but is not an OS sandbox. Non-isolated dispatch requires authorization and external containment where needed.

Quick start

Run from this skill root; input and output paths are supplied by the caller:

python3 scripts/run_agent.py agents/security-auditor.md <input> <output> "Review supplied source." --cli claude --isolated --require-input

Workflow

  1. Read dispatch details before selecting flags or models.
  2. Read execution rules and backend capabilities; user instructions govern authorization.
  3. Use the selected model and optional effort; inspect the resolved executable/version.
  4. Dispatch once, then check exit status, nonempty output and requested acceptance criteria.

Profile contract applies when a caller supplies a profile.

Verification

Record backend, executable/version, model, effort, scope and result. Empty or failed output is not a completed review. Log failures in Map Debt. For gated reviews, wrap supplied input in ---SOURCE--- blocks and record results through the control-plane record-critic-review command using canonical PASS, REVISE, or REJECT; only PASS approves.

🎭 Persona Registry (agents/)

These personas are mirrored across CLI agent dispatchers to ensure consistent analytical behavior across the ecosystem.

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.
