arkcli-helper

arkcli-helper is a skill for Claude Code from volcengine/ark-cli. It costs 348 tokens per session (9,271 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A local setup tool for configuring AI-agent clients such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and Hermes. It can connect them to Ark plans or platform endpoints and add selected MCP tools, which are external capabilities an agent can call.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure model access and add MCP capabilities such as professional datasets, web search, agent memory, or cloud-computer access.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually edit each client’s provider, model, and tool configuration.

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 B, and why

arkcli-helper scanned grade B 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 17d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 234 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

arkcli helper —— 给本机 AI Agent 配置 Plan / Platform Endpoint / 注入 MCP

前置: 先用 Read 读 ../arkcli-shared/SKILL.md 获取共享安全规则与认证闸门。

CRITICAL — arkcli helper 整个命令域不支持 --dry-run。 Helper 面向 TTY/本地 harness 配置,不是 API request preview。任何 helper 命令带 --dry-run 都应 fail-fast 为 unknown flag;Agent 不得生成该 组合,也不得把它当作写操作保护。真实 configure/reset/mcp/supabase 仍必须先展示目标与路径并取得明确确认。

命令选择(先选最具体的子命令)

  • 普通 Helper 准入从 arkcli helper list 和用户指定的目标开始;不要为补齐上下文自动执行 profile show/list/keys list。这些 Profile 命令可能在线同步并回写 Key,只有用户显式要求 Profile 管理时才进入,并先说明影响。
  • 用户要查看或配置 Agent 的 model/provider、Plan、Platform Endpoint,或核对 --with-mcp / --with-supabase / --with-routing 等非交互选项时,必须选择 arkcli helper configure;只查看用法也要运行 arkcli helper configure --help,不能退化成父级 arkcli helper --help。
  • 用户只要 Harness 工具、不改 model/provider 时,选择 arkcli helper mcp [target]。不传 --capability 配整组 Agent Plan MCP;只要专业数据集、豆包搜索或 Agent 记忆时分别传 --capability datapro|web-search|agent-memory;只要云电脑时传 --capability cua。选择豆包搜索后默认关闭目标客户端的原生 WebSearch/web_search,用户要求保留时加 --keep-native-websearch。发生关闭时立即输出作用域、配置文件和完整 reset 命令。只查看用法时运行 arkcli helper mcp --help。
  • Helper 配置 Agent Plan 时只能使用该 profile 的专属/席位 Key,不能用普通 API Key 池兜底。个人版专属记录存在但非 Active(如 Restricted)时,真人 TTY 会先说明轮转将立即使旧 Key 失效并询问;确认后只轮转一次、最多读 3 次状态,第一轮 Active 即停止。无专属记录、用户拒绝或非 TTY 时不轮转;失败引导必须去 Agent Plan 使用配置页,不能去普通 API Key 页面或 auth apikey。
  • arkcli-auth 只处理实际认证阻塞。用户仅要求查看 helper 的 --help 时,不要转去登录、init-volc 或其他认证命令。

适用场景 / 唤起信号

  • 用户要给本机 Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode / OpenClaw / Hermes / ZCode 配置 Plan 或 Platform Endpoint 的 model/provider。
  • 用户要给支持的目标 Agent 配置豆包搜索、专业数据集或 OpenViking MCP,只安装云电脑 CUA Skill,或配置 byted-supabase。
  • 用户询问 arkcli helper 的安装态、配置态、文件落点、重载方式或 Agent Plan Harness 抵扣/超额后付费矩阵。

反唤起信号 / 不该唤起

  • 只查询/购买/续费套餐或管理团队席位时转 arkcli-plans。
  • 只搜索基础模型、查询用量或价格时分别转 arkcli-models、arkcli-usage、arkcli-pricing。
  • 把 arkcli 内嵌 Skills 安装到 Agent 时转 arkcli-connect;不要把“安装 arkcli skill”误判为配置 Harness。
  • 仅排查登录、401 或 profile 覆盖问题时转 arkcli-auth / arkcli-config,不要反复重写 Agent 配置。
  • 用户问 CC Switch / cc-switch 图形界面里如何选豆包、添加供应商或填写模型槽位,而非要求 ArkCLI 修改本机 Agent 配置时,不走 helper configure;转 arkcli-docs 查官方 Claude Code/CC Switch 接入正文。按用户实际套餐区分 Key、Base URL 与 Model Name;套餐当前可用模型要以实时查询为准,认证失败时只给标明来源的文档示例,不能冒充实时清单。

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.
