What it does

CLI Wiring is an agent skill from bradygaster/squad. Checklist and patterns for wiring new CLI commands into cli-entry.ts

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Squad: AI agent teams for any project. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/cli-wiring”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create command file in packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/.ts
  2. Add routing block in packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts inside main()
  3. Add help text in the help section of cli-entry.ts (search for Commands:)
  4. Verify both exist — the recurring bug is doing step 1 but missing steps 2-3.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2364df. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    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

CLI Wiring loads about 501 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 165 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~501

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.

Skill: CLI Command Wiring

Bug class: Commands implemented in packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/ but never routed in cli-entry.ts.

Checklist — Adding a New CLI Command

  1. Create command file in packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/<name>.ts

    • Export a run<Name>(cwd, options) async function (or class with static methods for utility modules)

  2. Add routing block in packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts inside main():

    ts
    if (cmd === '<name>') {
  const { run<Name> } = await import('./cli/commands/<name>.js');
  // parse args, call function
  await run<Name>(process.cwd(), options);
  return;
}

  3. Add help text in the help section of cli-entry.ts (search for Commands:):

    ts
    console.log(`  ${BOLD}<name>${RESET}     <description>`);
console.log(`             Usage: <name> [flags]`);

  4. Verify both exist — the recurring bug is doing step 1 but missing steps 2-3.

Wiring Patterns by Command Type

TypeExampleHow to wire
Standard commandexport.ts, build.tsrun*() function, parse flags from args
Placeholder commandloop, cast (alias: hire)Inline in cli-entry.ts, prints pending message
Utility/check modulerc-tunnel.ts, copilot-bridge.tsWire as diagnostic check (e.g., isDevtunnelAvailable())
Subcommand of anotherinit-remote.tsAlready used inside parent + standalone alias

Common Import Pattern

ts
import { BOLD, RESET, DIM, RED, GREEN, YELLOW } from './cli/core/output.js';

Use dynamic await import() for command modules to keep startup fast (lazy loading).

History

  • #237 / PR #244: 4 commands wired (rc, copilot-bridge, init-remote, rc-tunnel). aspire, link, loop, cast (née hire) were already present.
