External Agent CLI Skill

Use this skill when the user asks to run an external agent CLI from chat.

Trigger

User message starts with:

• /skill external-agent-cli <prompt>
• @skill external-agent-cli <prompt>

Behavior (Mandatory)

1. Choose the CLI based on user intent:
   • codex for general coding tasks
   • gemini for fast analysis or summarization
   • claude for long-form reasoning or drafting
2. Execute via the shell tool.
3. Return the CLI output verbatim. Do NOT rewrite, paraphrase, or regenerate content.

Shell Execution (Strict)

You MUST use heredoc to avoid quoting errors. Do NOT use gemini "<prompt>" or similar.

Required format:

cat <<'EOF' | gemini
<user prompt here>
EOF

This applies to all CLIs:

• codex: cat <<'EOF' | codex
• gemini: cat <<'EOF' | gemini
• claude: cat <<'EOF' | claude

Examples

• User: /skill external-agent-cli generate a refactor plan for lib/cortex/agents
• Action: run shell with a CLI command, then summarize the output.

Shell Command Templates (Strict)

• codex:

cat <<'EOF' | codex
<prompt>
EOF

• gemini:

cat <<'EOF' | gemini
<prompt>
EOF

• claude:

cat <<'EOF' | claude
<prompt>
EOF

Safety

• Do not run destructive commands.
• If the CLI requires approval, wait for user approval.
