What it does

Nodetool Chat CLI is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Use NodeTool chat CLI sessions, provider selection, workspace tools, and Global Chat features.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

AI & LLM Engineering work in your project

Example prompts

“/nodetool-chat-cli”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Plan — break tasks into steps
Use tools — search, browse, file ops, code execution, media generation
Iterate — execute steps, evaluate results, adapt
Run workflows — trigger saved NodeTool workflows

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 515bd28. 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:
- curl
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and npm, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- OPENAI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Nodetool Chat CLI loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 721 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.8k

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

The full file from nodetool-ai/nodetool at commit 515bd28, republished under its AGPL-3.0 licence (© nodetool-ai). 721 words, ~1,766 tokens.

name: nodetool-chat-cli
description: Use NodeTool chat CLI sessions, provider selection, workspace tools, and Global Chat features.

You help users use NodeTool's chat interfaces — the terminal chat CLI and Global Chat.

Chat CLI

The chat CLI fills the terminal with a scrollable transcript, multiline composer, tool details, task progress, and approval prompts. Two entry points:

nodetool-chat (standalone binary)
nodetool chat (subcommand that forwards to the chat UI)

From source (no build): npm run dev:chat -- [flags].

Starting Chat

bash

# Interactive chat (default provider/model from saved settings)
nodetool chat

# With a specific provider/model
nodetool chat -p openai -m gpt-5.4
nodetool chat -p anthropic -m claude-sonnet-4-6
nodetool chat -p ollama -m qwen-3.5:4b

# Restrict the enabled tools
nodetool chat --tools google_search,browser,write_file

# Connect to a running server instead of a local provider
nodetool chat -u ws://localhost:7777/ws

Agent mode is always on. Every chat session runs the unified agent loop (planning + tools). The old -a/--agent and --no-agent flags are deprecated no-ops kept for compatibility.

CLI Flags

Flag	Purpose
`-p, --provider <name>`	LLM provider (see list below)
`-m, --model <id>`	Model ID
`-w, --workspace <path>`	Workspace directory (default: cwd)
`--tools <list>`	Comma-separated enabled tools
`-u, --url <ws-url>`	Connect to a NodeTool server WebSocket
`--resume [id]`	Resume a saved session in this workspace, latest if no ID is given
`--permission-mode <default	auto
`--no-read-only-search`	Disable the read-only `run_search` fan-out primitive
`--trace-file <path>`	Append LLM/agent/workflow spans as JSONL
`--trace-stdout [pretty\|json]`	Stream spans to stdout

Providers: anthropic, claude_agent_sdk, openai, codex, gemini, xai, groq, mistral, deepseek, moonshot, minimax, cerebras, alibaba, gmi, together, openrouter, requesty, huggingface, replicate, kie, aki, ollama, lmstudio, mlx. Any other registered provider id (e.g. vllm) also works when passed explicitly.

Slash Commands (prefix with `/`)

Command	Purpose
`/help`	Show commands and keyboard shortcuts in the transcript
`/new`	Start a fresh session (clears history + server thread)
`/clear`	Clear the visible history
`/compact`	Summarize and compact the conversation context
`/model [provider/id]`	Browse models from all configured providers, or switch with a provider/model ID
`/agent [id\|main]`	Browse sub-agent threads, inspect one, or return to the main conversation
`/tools`	List the enabled tools
`/mode <default	auto
`/sessions`	Browse saved conversations for this workspace and server
`/resume [id]`	Resume a saved conversation
`/export [path.md]`	Save a Markdown transcript without overwriting an existing file
`/details`	Toggle tool arguments, code, and edit diffs
`/exit`, `/quit`	Quit chat

Enter sends. Alt+Enter, Shift+Enter in supported terminals, or Ctrl+J inserts a newline. Up/Down recalls prompts and Tab completes commands. Page Up/Page Down scrolls, Ctrl+G returns to the latest output, and Ctrl+O toggles tool details. Escape cancels a turn or dismisses input. Ctrl+C cancels, clears a draft, or saves and exits when idle with an empty composer. Approval prompts show their answer keys and can be scrolled before answering.

/compact summarizes local context. Connected servers manage their own context. /clear only clears the screen, while /new resets the conversation.

Non-slash input is sent to the model as a chat message — there is no built-in shell (ls, cd, …) in the chat prompt. File operations happen through the agent's file tools in the workspace.

Show full SKILL.md (284 more words)Show less

Configuration

Settings file: ~/.nodetool/chat-settings.json (persists provider + model)
Sessions: ~/.nodetool/chat-sessions/ (transcript, context, provider continuation)
Sessions are saved after turns and on exit. The picker filters by workspace and server. Resuming does not carry over approval grants.

Agent Capabilities

Because the agent loop is always active, the chat can:

Plan — break tasks into steps
Use tools — search, browse, file ops, code execution, media generation
Iterate — execute steps, evaluate results, adapt
Run workflows — trigger saved NodeTool workflows

Common Tools

Tool	Capability
`google_search`	Web search
`browser`	Browse and extract web content
`read_file` / `write_file` / `edit_file`	Workspace file ops
`grep` / `glob`	Search files
`screenshot`	Capture a page screenshot
`find_model`	Pick a model by capability
`generate_image` / `generate_video` / `generate_speech`	Media generation

Restrict the set with --tools a,b,c; inspect the active set with /tools.

Global Chat

Global Chat is the desktop app's built-in chat interface.

Features

Chat with any configured AI model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, local)
Multiple conversation threads
Standalone window (launch from the system tray)
Tools: web search, image generation, workflow execution
The same always-on agent loop as the CLI

Workflow Integration

1. Save a workflow in the NodeTool editor
2. Open Global Chat
3. Select the workflow from the workflow picker
4. Chat naturally — the agent can invoke the workflow as a tool

Typical Flows

Quick Question

bash

nodetool chat -p openai -m gpt-5.4
> What's the difference between FAISS and ChromaDB?

Research Task

bash

nodetool chat --tools google_search,browser,write_file
> Research the top 5 TypeScript ORMs and write a comparison to comparison.md

Code Generation

bash

nodetool chat -p anthropic -m claude-sonnet-4-6 --tools write_file,read_file,grep
> Create a Python script that processes CSV files and generates summary statistics

Headless / Programmatic Chat

For non-interactive chat, use the OpenAI-compatible Chat API on a running server (nodetool serve):

bash

curl -X POST http://localhost:7777/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
  -d '{"model": "gpt-5.4", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'

Common Pitfalls

No provider configured: store a key first (nodetool secrets store OPENAI_API_KEY). The /model picker lists models only from configured providers.
Wrong model ID: switch with /model <provider>/<id>; the picker searches every configured provider.
Expecting a shell: bare commands like ls are sent to the model, not run. Use the agent's file tools instead.
Looking for /agent: agent mode is always on; there is no toggle.
Using /agent: the command inspects delegated sub-agent threads; it does not toggle agent mode.
