What it does

Kumo CLI is an agent skill from AstraFoundry/KumoApp. Drive Kumo from coding agents and automation through the kumo command-line interface. Use when starting, stopping, inspecting, configuring, or troubleshooting Kumo, Mihomo runtime state, profiles, proxies, system proxy, TUN, service mode, or Kumo agent skill installation.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: A calm, native macOS client for the Mihomo proxy core, built with SwiftUI and a shared agent-friendly CLI. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Troubleshooting Kumo
  • Mihomo runtime state
  • Kumo agent skill installation

Example prompts

  • “/kumo-cli”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start with kumo doctor --json for a broad snapshot.
  2. Use focused read commands such as kumo status --json, kumo proxies --json, or kumo service status --json.
  3. Use --dry-run before commands that can change macOS settings or installed skills.
  4. After a write command, re-run the narrow status command to verify the result.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 990ff36. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • swift
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Kumo CLI loads about 758 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~758

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Drive Kumo from coding agents and automation through the `kumo` command-line interface. Use when starting, stopping, inspecting, configuring, or troubleshooting Kumo, Mihomo runtime state, profiles, proxies, system proxy, TUN, service mode, or Kumo agent skill installation.

Kumo CLI

Quick Start

Run kumo doctor --json first when diagnosing state. Use --json whenever parsing output. Use the installed kumo command, which should resolve to /usr/local/bin/kumo and then to Kumo.app/Contents/Helpers/kumo. swift run kumo is only for source-tree development checks.

When to Use

  • Control Kumo lifecycle, mode, profiles, proxies, system proxy, TUN, or service mode.
  • Inspect current runtime state before changing configuration.
  • Install, update, or inspect Kumo's bundled agent skills.

Output Contract

  • JSON responses use { "ok": true|false, "data": ..., "error": ... } and always include all three keys.
  • Exit code 0 means success.
  • Exit code 1 means failure; read error when ok is false.
  • Prefer stable command names and JSON fields over parsing human-readable output.
  • --json stdout is always plain JSON with no ANSI color, progress, or logs.
  • Diagnostics and log output go to stderr in text mode.

Discoverability

  • kumo --help or kumo -h shows common commands.
  • kumo -l shows long command usage.
  • kumo <command> -h and kumo help <term> show focused help.
  • kumo completion zsh|bash|fish emits shell completion scripts.

Command Workflow

  1. Start with kumo doctor --json for a broad snapshot.
  2. Use focused read commands such as kumo status --json, kumo proxies --json, or kumo service status --json.
  3. Use --dry-run before commands that can change macOS settings or installed skills.
  4. After a write command, re-run the narrow status command to verify the result.

Skill Installation Commands

  • kumo skills status --json
  • kumo skills status --agent cursor --json
  • kumo skills install --agent codex --dry-run --json
  • kumo skills install --agent all --scope global --json
  • kumo skills uninstall --agent cursor --scope global --dry-run --json

Supported agents are cursor, claude, codex, gemini, agents, and all where documented. codex and gemini do not support project scope.

Logging Commands

  • kumo logs path
  • kumo logs cli --limit 5
  • kumo logs clean --dry-run --json

Use --loglevel <silent|error|warn|notice|http|info|verbose|silly> to adjust diagnostic verbosity. Prefer --silent --json for automation that only needs machine-readable results.

Safety Rules

  • Do not edit generated runtime YAML unless the user explicitly asks for raw file changes.
  • Prefer kumo or the Kumo app over direct writes to Kumo state files.
  • Do not pass --force to skill installation unless the user intends to replace an existing skill directory.
  • When working inside the Kumo repository, use docs/interfaces/cli-agent-control.md for the detailed CLI contract.
