What it does

Coco CLI is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Install, update, version-check, or uninstall the Coco open-source AI workflow framework via bin/coco.js. Use when setting up Coco on a machine, checking out the pinned release tag into an existing clone, checking the installed version, or removing it. npx cocosuperintelligence is the published path (clones the pin and installs). Triggers on "install coco", "update coco", "set up coco", "coco cli", "uninstall coco".

Its SKILL.md is about 810 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: CoCo Super Intelligence is the orchestration layer that turns Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex into an engineering department: a routed advisory board, 226 skills, 386 commands…

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up Coco on a machine
  • Checking out the pinned release tag into an existing clone
  • Checking the installed version

Example prompts

  • “install coco”
  • “update coco”
  • “set up coco”
  • “/coco-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6036e9c. 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:

    • node
    • npx
    • git

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Coco CLI loads about 812 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~812

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.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 326 words (~812 tokens).

“Thin agent wrapper over bin/coco.js (package name cocosuperintelligence). Drives the real CLI; does not reimplement it.”
