What it does

Clisbot Plugin is an agent skill from longbkit/clisbot. Build and manage trusted local Clisbot plugins. Use when the user asks to create, edit, install, reload, enable, disable, remove, or troubleshoot a Clisbot plugin; add lifecycle hooks; transform agent configuration, environment, MCP servers, or workspace creation; automate permissions or turn follow-ups; add a native surface, sidebar item, or workspace panel; add Command Center items or slash commands; add composer pills or attachment sources; transform, render, or append agent timeline items; contribute a theme…

Its SKILL.md is about 8.2k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Agentic Coding CLI & chat bot.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create
  • Troubleshoot a Clisbot plugin
  • Add lifecycle hooks
  • Transform agent configuration

Example prompts

  • “/clisbot-plugin”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preserve the rest of config.json and set the root pluginsEnabled field to true.
  2. Run clisbot reload --json against that daemon.
  3. Require pluginsEnabled in appliedPaths, or accept an empty appliedPaths only after re-reading the file and confirming the live plugin…
  4. Run clisbot plugin ls and verify the intended plugin reaches running after installation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a964b. 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:

    • npm
    • rg

    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):

    • clisbot.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

Clisbot Plugin loads about 8.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 146 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,730 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~146
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~8.2k

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 2,730 words (~8,159 tokens).

“Build or manage the requested plugin directly. Use the current public docs to catch contract changes, but keep working from this skill if the network is unavailable.”
