TriggerCMD Skill

Use this skill to inspect and run TRIGGERcmd commands on any computer that is registered with the account tied to the local API token.

Authentication

The skill supports two authentication methods (checked in order):

1. Environment Variable (recommended): Set TRIGGERCMD_TOKEN to your personal API token

   • Export it in your shell: export TRIGGERCMD_TOKEN='your-token-here'
   • Or prefix individual commands: TRIGGERCMD_TOKEN='your-token-here' <command>

2. Token File: Store token at ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn

   • The file should contain only the raw token text (no quotes, spaces, or trailing newline)
   • Must be permission-restricted: chmod 600 ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn
   • To create: mkdir -p ~/.TRIGGERcmdData && read -s TOKEN && printf "%s" "$TOKEN" > ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn && chmod 600 ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn

Obtaining your token:

1. Log in at https://www.triggercmd.com
2. Navigate to your profile/settings page
3. Copy the API token (keep it secure and never share it)

Security Warning: Never print, log, or paste your token in shared terminals or outputs.

Common Environment Helpers

# Get token from environment variable or file (checks env var first)
if [ -n "$TRIGGERCMD_TOKEN" ]; then
  TOKEN="$TRIGGERCMD_TOKEN"
elif [ -f ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn ]; then
  TOKEN=$(cat ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn)
else
  echo "Error: No token found. Set TRIGGERCMD_TOKEN env var or create ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn" >&2
  exit 1
fi

AUTH_HEADER=("-H" "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN")
BASE_URL=https://www.triggercmd.com/api

Use the snippets above to avoid repeating the authentication logic in each command.

list_commands

Lists every command in the account across all computers.

curl -sS "${BASE_URL}/command/list" "${AUTH_HEADER[@]}" | jq '.records[] | {computer: .computer.name, name, voice, allowParams, id, mcpToolDescription}'

Formatting tips:

• For quick human output, pipe through jq -r '.records[] | "\(.computer.name): \(.name) (voice: \(.voice // "-"))"'.
• Include allowParams when suggesting follow-up commands so the user knows whether parameters are allowed.
• When asked for a summary, group by .computer.name and present bullet points per computer.

run_command

Run a specific command on a specific computer using the computer name and command name.

# Use jq to safely construct JSON payload and prevent injection
PAYLOAD=$(jq -n \
  --arg computer "$COMPUTER" \
  --arg command "$COMMAND" \
  --arg params "$PARAMS" \
  '{computer: $computer, command: $command, params: $params}')

curl -sS -X POST "${BASE_URL}/run/trigger" \
  "${AUTH_HEADER[@]}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "$PAYLOAD"

• $COMPUTER should be the computer name (e.g., "MyLaptop")
• $COMMAND should be the command name (e.g., "calculator")
• Omit the --arg params "$PARAMS" and params: $params from the jq command when the command does not accept parameters.
• Using jq -n with --arg ensures all values are properly escaped and prevents JSON injection attacks.
• Successful responses return a confirmation plus any queued status info. Surface both to the user.

Error Handling

• Missing token file: Explain how to create ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn and remind them to keep it private.
• Invalid token (401/403): Ask the user to regenerate the token and overwrite the file.
• Computer not found: Show the available computer names (case-insensitive match).
• Command not found: List the commands for the requested computer; highlight commands with allowParams: true when relevant.
• API/network issues: Include the HTTP status and response body to aid debugging.

Testing workflow

1. Verify authentication is configured:

   [ -n "$TRIGGERCMD_TOKEN" ] || [ -f ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn ] || echo "Error: No token configured"
   

2. Test API connectivity (using the helper variables above):

   curl -sS "${BASE_URL}/command/list" "${AUTH_HEADER[@]}" | jq -r '.records[0].computer.name // "No commands found"'
   

3. Dry-run a command by listing IDs, then run with known-safe commands (e.g., toggling a harmless script) before invoking anything destructive.

Security Notes

• Never print, log, or expose the token value. Do not include it in command outputs or error messages.
• If using the token file method, ensure ~/.TRIGGERcmdData/token.tkn has permissions set to 600 (readable only by owner).
• Prefer the TRIGGERCMD_TOKEN environment variable for temporary sessions or when you don't want to persist the token on disk.
• Confirm with the user before running commands with side effects unless they explicitly asked for it.
• Respect per-device safety constraints; if you are unsure what a command does, ask before triggering it.
• If authentication fails, do not suggest commands that would expose the token; instead direct the user to regenerate it via the TRIGGERcmd website.
