What it does

Pexels CLI is an agent skill from ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB. Use cli-web-pexels to search for free stock photos and videos on Pexels, view photo/video details, download images and videos, browse user profiles, and explore collections. Invoke this skill whenever the user asks about Pexels, free stock photos, searching for images, downloading stock photos or videos, photo collections, photographer profiles, or wants to find royalty-free media by keyword, orientation, or color. Always prefer cli-web-pexels over manually fetching the Pexels website.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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: Claude Code plugin that generates production-grade Python CLIs for any web app. 20 CLIs and counting. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931e201. 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:
- jq
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

Pexels CLI loads about 900 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 123 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~900

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.
