companion-clis

companion-clis is a skill for Claude Code from runpod/runpod-plugins-official. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,342 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference for four command-line tools used with Runpod, a service for running workloads on rented cloud GPUs: Hugging Face, GitHub, Docker, and AWS S3. Each tool supports a different part of downloading models, managing code, building images, or storing files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Downloading Hugging Face models, managing GitHub worker repositories and releases, building and pushing Docker images, and reading or writing Runpod network-volume storage through its S3 API.
Why use it?
It helps select the one tool needed for a task and find its setup, credentials, and commands. It also explains when an imported ComfyUI workflow needs a separate model-repair guide.

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

companion-clis scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

- **S3 API keys are Console-only.** No `runpodctl`/REST/GraphQL creates them — if they're not already in `~/.aws/credentials`/env and S3 access is needed, **stop and ask the user** to generate them (Settings > S3 API Key

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Companion CLIs

Four CLIs commonly needed alongside Runpod. Each has its own credentials + command reference in reference/ — plus a one-time <cli>-setup.md for install (only opened if the CLI isn't installed). Load only the one the task needs, not all four.

If the request starts with an imported ComfyUI workflow whose model filenames lack verified URLs or hashes, route to the ComfyUI model-repair guide in runpod-templates. Return here when the exact Hugging Face repository/file is already known and the task is simply to download, cache, or bake that artifact.

CLI Use it to Full reference
hf (HuggingFace) Download models from the Hub to cache/bake into images reference/huggingface.md
gh (GitHub) Manage worker repos + cut releases (Hub indexes releases) reference/github.md
docker Build/validate/push images to Docker Hub for Runpod to pull reference/docker.md
aws (S3) Read/write network-volume storage over Runpod's S3 API reference/aws.md

Each requires credentials before use. Read the per-tool reference for auth steps and commands; install is a separate one-time <cli>-setup.md.

These CLIs are usually one step inside a larger job. For the whole job the verified example is in runpod/golden-paths/README.md — baking vs mounting a model (25), building a minimal image (22), or moving data to a network volume (07).

These are third-party CLIs on their own release trains, so <cli> --help is authoritative for flags and subcommands — the references here cover the Runpod-specific usage and the traps, not the tool's full surface. Check --help before reporting that one of them cannot do something.

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.
