description	Execute AI coding CLI tools (Claude Code / Gemini CLI / qodercli) on behalf of Workers. Use when a Worker sends a coding-request: message, asking Manager to run coding operations in their workspace. Use when this capability is needed.

Coding CLI Management

This skill enables the Manager to execute AI coding CLI tools (claude/gemini/qodercli) on behalf of Workers. Workers generate precise prompts; the Manager runs the CLI in the Worker's workspace and returns the result.

Config File

Path: ~/coding-cli-config.json

{
  "enabled": true,
  "cli": "claude",
  "confirmed_at": "2026-02-23T10:00:00Z"
}

enabled	cli	Meaning
false	any	Admin declined; use normal task flow
true	"claude" / "gemini" / "qodercli"	Active — use this CLI

---

Step 1: First-Time Detection (before assigning a coding task)

Run when ~/coding-cli-config.json does not exist:

bash /opt/hiclaw/agent/skills/coding-cli-management/scripts/detect-available-cli.sh

If no CLIs are available (available array is empty):

echo '{"enabled":false,"cli":null,"confirmed_at":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'"}' \
  > ~/coding-cli-config.json

Proceed with normal task assignment (Worker codes on their own).

If CLIs are available, ask the admin via the primary channel or Matrix DM — in the language the admin used:

I found the following AI coding CLI tools available: [list]. Would you like to enable CLI delegation mode? Workers will generate coding prompts, and I'll use the CLI tool to make the code changes. Reply with the tool name (claude/gemini/qodercli) to enable, or 'no' to have workers code on their own.

On admin reply:

• Tool name (claude / gemini / qodercli):

  echo '{"enabled":true,"cli":"<chosen-tool>","confirmed_at":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'"}' \
    > ~/coding-cli-config.json
  

• "no" or decline:

  echo '{"enabled":false,"cli":null,"confirmed_at":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'"}' \
    > ~/coding-cli-config.json

Step 2: Assigning a Coding Task (CLI mode enabled)

When coding-cli-config.json has enabled: true:

1. Ensure the Worker has the coding-cli skill. Check workers-registry.json:

   cat ~/workers-registry.json | jq '.workers[] | select(.name=="<worker>") | .skills'
   

   If coding-cli is missing, distribute it:

   bash /opt/hiclaw/agent/skills/worker-management/scripts/push-worker-skills.sh \
     --worker <worker-name> --skill coding-cli
   

2. Add a "Coding CLI Mode" section to spec.md (see template below).

---

Step 3: Handling a coding-request: Message

When a Worker sends a message containing coding-request: (in their Worker Room or a Project Room):

Parse the message:

task-{task-id} coding-request:
workspace: /root/hiclaw-fs/shared/tasks/{task-id}/workspace
---PROMPT---
{prompt content}
---END---

Execute:

# 1. Sync workspace from MinIO
task_id="task-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS"
workspace="/root/hiclaw-fs/shared/tasks/${task_id}/workspace"
mc mirror "${HICLAW_STORAGE_PREFIX}/shared/tasks/${task_id}/" "/root/hiclaw-fs/shared/tasks/${task_id}/"

# 2. Check for processing marker (task coordination)
bash /opt/hiclaw/agent/skills/task-coordination/scripts/check-processing-marker.sh "$task_id"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    # Another process is working on this task
    echo "Task ${task_id} is being processed by another operation. Retry later."
    exit 1
fi

# 3. Create processing marker
bash /opt/hiclaw/agent/skills/task-coordination/scripts/create-processing-marker.sh "$task_id" "manager" 15

# 4. Save prompt to file
timestamp=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
prompt_dir="/root/hiclaw-fs/shared/tasks/${task_id}/coding-prompts"
mkdir -p "$prompt_dir"
prompt_file="$prompt_dir/${timestamp}.txt"
cat > "$prompt_file" << 'PROMPT_EOF'
{extracted prompt content}
PROMPT_EOF

# 5. Get configured CLI
cli=$(jq -r '.cli' ~/coding-cli-config.json)

# 6. Run CLI
bash /opt/hiclaw/agent/skills/coding-cli-management/scripts/run-coding-cli.sh \
  --cli "$cli" \
  --workspace  \
  --prompt-file  \
  -- 600
exit_code=$?


bash /opt/hiclaw/agent/skills/task-coordination/scripts/remove-processing-marker.sh 


 [  -eq 0 ]; 
    mc mirror   --overwrite

On success — send to Worker in the same Room:

@{worker}:DOMAIN task-{task-id} coding-result:
CLI 工具已完成编码。请同步工作目录并 review 变更：
  hiclaw-sync
变更记录：/root/hiclaw-fs/shared/tasks/{task-id}/workspace/coding-cli-logs/

On failure (exit ≠ 0 or timeout) — see Step 4.

---

Step 4: Handling Failure

Notify Worker in the task Room:

@{worker}:DOMAIN task-{task-id} coding-failed:
CLI 工具执行失败（exit code: {code}）。请自行完成编码任务。
你生成的提示词已保存于：/root/hiclaw-fs/shared/tasks/{task-id}/coding-prompts/

Notify Human Admin via primary channel (see channel-management skill "Sending Messages to Primary Channel"):

Worker {worker-name} 的编码委托任务 {task-id} 中，{cli} 工具执行失败。

错误信息：{last lines from log file}

建议检查：
- ~/.{cli}/ 凭证是否有效（token 是否过期）
- /host-share/.{cli}/ 软链是否正常（ls -la /root/.{cli}）
- {cli} binary 是否在容器内可用（which {cli}）

Record in config (optional, for heartbeat diagnostics):

jq --arg ts "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" --arg tid "$task_id" \
   '.last_failure = {task_id: $tid, failed_at: $ts}' \
   ~/coding-cli-config.json > /tmp/cfg.json && \
mv /tmp/cfg.json ~/coding-cli-config.json

---

Spec.md Coding CLI Mode Template

Append to the end of spec.md when CLI mode is enabled:

## Coding CLI Mode

本任务涉及代码修改。请使用 **Coding CLI 委托模式** 完成：

1. 克隆/准备代码到工作目录：`/root/hiclaw-fs/shared/tasks/{task-id}/workspace/`
2. 推送到 MinIO：`mc mirror /root/hiclaw-fs/shared/tasks/{task-id}/workspace/ ${HICLAW_STORAGE_PREFIX}/shared/tasks/{task-id}/workspace/`
3. 根据你的理解和 `coding-cli` skill 生成编码提示词，发送给我
4. 等待我执行 CLI 工具并返回结果
5. Sync 拉取变更：`hiclaw-sync`
6. Review 变更并报告完成

如收到 `coding-failed:`，请自行完成编码工作。
