Install Node CLI

skills CLI
$ npx skills add jd-solanki/slidev-theme-dracula --skill node-cli -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install jd-solanki/slidev-theme-dracula node-cli --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jd-solanki/slidev-theme-dracula.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.ai/skills/node-cli .claude/skills/node-cli && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

Patterns and conventions for building Node.js CLI tools — src structure, entry point setup, Commander wiring, and update notifications.

  • Modifying a Node.js CLI
  • SKILL.md covers src structure, Entry point structure, Testing CLI wiring and Update notifier, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls pnpm
  • Adding Commander commands

What it does

Node CLI is an agent skill from jd-solanki/slidev-theme-dracula. Patterns and conventions for building Node.js CLI tools — src structure, entry point setup, Commander wiring, and update notifications. Use when creating or modifying a Node.js CLI, adding Commander commands, wiring update-notifier, or asking how to structure a CLI entry point or src directory.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Development. It works with Node.js. The repository describes itself as: Dracula theme for slidev 🧛.

When your agent uses it

  • Modifying a Node.js CLI
  • Adding Commander commands
  • Wiring update-notifier
  • Asking how to structure a CLI entry point

Example prompts

  • “Use the node-cli skill to pattern and conventions for building Node.js CLI tools — src structure, entry point setup, Commander wiring, and update…”
  • “/node-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 383e9b1. 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:

    • pnpm

    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
    • vitest.dev
    • nostics.dev

    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

Node CLI loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 364 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 364 words (~1,576 tokens).
