Query read-only Stripe test-mode data and advance an already-attached test clock.

  • Debugging task needs Stripe data Bitwardens own web vault and Admin portal cannot show

  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls stripe; needs STRIPE_API_KEY

What it does

Using Stripe CLI is an agent skill from bitwarden/ai-plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Query read-only Stripe test-mode data and advance an already-attached test clock. Use when a local test or debugging task needs Stripe data Bitwarden's own web vault and Admin portal cannot show, for example listing coupon or price IDs, checking a subscription's status or attached test clock, previewing a subscription's next invoice, or tracing why a test-mode payment failed. Read-only except for advancing an existing test clock. Do NOT use it to write Stripe integration code, to create, update, or delete any…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `evals/README.md`, `evals/behavior-eval.json` and `evals/trigger-eval.json`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Forms and invoices. It works with Stripe. The repository describes itself as: AI plugin marketplace.

When your agent uses it

  • Debugging task needs Stripe data Bitwardens own web vault and Admin portal cannot show
  • For example listing coupon
  • Checking a subscriptions status
  • Attached test clock

Example prompts

  • “s status or attached test clock, previewing a subscription”
  • “/using-stripe-cli”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in STRIPE_API_KEY
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read(/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/using-stripe-cli/references/**), Bash(${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/using-stripe-cli/scripts/stripe_cli.py:*)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e6bea3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read(/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/using-stripe-cli/references/**)
    • Bash(${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/using-stripe-cli/scripts/stripe_cli.py:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • stripe

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • STRIPE_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Using Stripe CLI loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 146 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,719 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~146
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.4k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,719 words (~3,706 tokens).

“This skill is read-only, with one exception: advancing an already-attached test clock. The invoice preview is sent as a POST but creates and changes nothing, so it counts as a read. Any other Stripe write is out of scope: STOP…”
