Check before installing.

By ariadoss/superskills (GitHub) · design · 12 stars · scanned at commit c7ec8d7

Design or review CLIs so coding agents can run them reliably: non-interactive flags first, layered --help with real copy-pasteable examples, stdin/pipeline support, fail-fast errors that include a correct invocation, idempotency, --dry-run/--yes for destructive actions, and machine-useful success output. Use when building a CLI, adding commands or subcommands, writing --help text, or when asked for an "agent-friendly CLI". Not for GUIs, TUIs, or library APIs (no CLI surface to design).

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'cli-for-agent' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'cli-for-agent' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named cli-for-agent already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ariadoss/superskills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c7ec8d78e5dc37484c2cfe90ab04de163d97dd41' -- 'skills/cli-for-agent' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/cli-for-agent' ~/.agents/skills/'cli-for-agent' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'cli-for-agent' ~/.claude/skills/'cli-for-agent' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
