What it does

Local Coding Agents is an agent skill from fastclaw-ai/fastclaw. Hand a task to the Codex CLI or Claude Code CLI installed on this machine and relay the result. Use when the user says to have / ask / tell "codex", "claude code", "cc" or a coding agent do something — draw or generate an image, write or fix code, explain a repo, answer a question. These are command-line programs on the host, not FastClaw agents, so never use messageagent for them.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Media & Creative, covering Image generation. The repository describes itself as: Multi-Agent Framework.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says to have / ask / tell codex
  • A coding agent do something — draw
  • Generate an image
  • Answer a question

Example prompts

  • “claude code”
  • “/local-coding-agents”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Isolate the work so the user's checkout is untouched
  2. Run the CLI inside $WT with a self-contained brief (goal, constraints,
  3. Verify yourself: git -C "$WT" status --short && git -C "$WT" diff --stat,
  4. Deliver: commit, push the branch and open a PR (gh pr create --fill) if

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2ebed1. 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:

    • codex
    • claude
    • git
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Local Coding Agents loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 541 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 541 words (~1,197 tokens).

“codex and claude are agent CLIs on the host. Treat a request to them like passing a message to a colleague: send it, wait, relay the answer. Handing off one task is a single step — don't announce a plan…”
