What it does
Python CLI Patterns is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. CLI application patterns for Python. Triggers on: cli, command line, typer, click, argparse, terminal, rich, console, terminal ui.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/cli-template.py`, `references/configuration.md` and `references/rich-output.md`). Compatibility notes: Python 3.10+. Requires typer and rich for modern CLI development.
It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
Example prompts
- “/python-cli-patterns”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Python 3.10+. Requires typer and rich for modern CLI development.
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
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.
Compatibility
Python 3.10+. Requires typer and rich for modern CLI development.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Python CLI Patterns loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 107 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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 107 words (~1,028 tokens).
