What it does

Unicli Claude Code is an agent skill from olo-dot-io/Uni-CLI. Make Uni-CLI reliable when invoked from Claude Code. MANDATES JSON-in channels (stdin / --args-file) for any payload containing quotes, emoji, newlines, or inline JSON — shell-quoted invocations hit TC0 circuit limits and drop to <50% success above ICS=4. Also covers --describe introspection and nextactions-driven navigation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Productivity & Automation. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: One command for every interface—search, run, and inspect real software across APIs, browsers, desktops, local tools, and MCP. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

stdin-JSON (preferred for complex payloads)
args-file (preferred when payload is reused)
shell args (only for trivial payloads)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9316f93. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and json).
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

Unicli Claude Code loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 489 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.5k

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.

Uni-CLI × Claude Code — Reliable Invocation

TL;DR — If the payload contains ANY of: quotes, emoji, newlines, JSON, non-ASCII, or is longer than ~60 chars, PIPE IT. Never inline.

Why this skill exists

Transformers live in TC0. Matching balanced " and ' pairs with arbitrary nesting is a mod-2 state-tracking problem that TC0 cannot solve in constant decode depth. Empirically, top LLMs land <43% on 0→1 CLI generation (CLI-Tool-Bench arXiv:2604.06742) and 62% of agent-tool bugs cluster at the tool-invocation / execution stages (arXiv:2603.20847).

Uni-CLI gives you THREE invocation channels. One of them (shell-args) inherits the TC0 bottleneck. The other two do not.

The decision rule

If the payload has …	Use channel
Only ASCII, no quotes, <60 chars	`shell` OK
Any quote or backslash	stdin-JSON
Emoji / CJK / non-ASCII	stdin-JSON
Newlines or inline JSON	stdin-JSON
Being reused across multiple invocations	--args-file

When unsure → stdin-JSON. It never makes things worse.

The three channels

1 — stdin-JSON (preferred for complex payloads)

bash

echo '{"query": "she said \"hi\" 🎉", "limit": 10}' | unicli twitter search

Uni-CLI auto-detects non-TTY stdin whose body starts with {
Precedence: stdin-JSON > --args-file > shell flags > defaults
Works for EVERY command — no per-adapter opt-in needed

2 — --args-file (preferred when payload is reused)

bash

cat > /tmp/q.json <<'EOF'
{ "query": "machine learning", "limit": 20, "locale": "en_US" }
EOF
unicli arxiv search --args-file /tmp/q.json

Absolute paths recommended
JSON only (YAML and TOML deliberately not supported — minimize format ambiguity)

3 — shell args (only for trivial payloads)

bash

unicli hackernews top --limit 5

Fine when every value is ASCII, no quotes, no emoji.

Runtime introspection — `unicli describe`

Before invoking any unfamiliar command, run:

bash

unicli describe <site> <command>

You get back a JSON object containing:

args_schema — JSON Schema draft-2020-12 for the argument bag
example_stdin — a realistic JSON body you can modify and pipe
channels — the three invocation templates
next_actions — hints for what to run next

This replaces reading docs. The CLI is the documentation.

The response envelope (v2)

Every successful call returns:

json

{
  "ok": true,
  "schema_version": "2",
  "command": "twitter.search",
  "meta": { "duration_ms": 847, "count": 10, "surface": "web" },
  "data": [ ... ],
  "error": null,
  "next_actions": [
    { "command": "unicli describe twitter search", "description": "…" },
    { "command": "unicli twitter search --args-file <path.json>", "description": "…" }
  ]
}

Errors return ok: false with a structured error object (adapter_path, step, suggestion) and failure-classified next_actions. unicli repair appears only for established adapter-drift classes and verifies an edit; it never edits automatically. If you see invalid_input from the hardening layer, the arg bag tripped a safety check — read error.suggestion for the exact fix.

--dry-run — preview before committing

bash

echo '{"query": "🎉", "limit": 5}' | unicli twitter search --dry-run

Prints the resolved ArgBag, the source channel, and the pipeline step count without touching the network / filesystem. Use this whenever you want to confirm the agent built the payload correctly.

Common failure modes → fixes

Symptom	Root cause	Fix
`invalid_input: control characters`	Embedded 0x01..0x1F in a string arg	Strip control chars; use \t \n \r only
`invalid_input: path escapes CWD`	`../` or absolute path outside $HOME	Keep outputs inside cwd or $HOME/.unicli
`invalid_input: id contains URL punctuation`	You pasted a full URL as a resource id	Strip the `?`, `#`, or `%XX` sequences
Command appears to run but gets wrong args	Shell ate your quotes	Switch to stdin-JSON
Unexpected shell expansion (`$HOME`, `)	Bash interpolated your payload	Single-quote, or better, use stdin-JSON

Recipes

Search with a complex query

bash

printf '%s\n' '{"query": "large language models \"emergent\" behaviour", "limit": 25}' \
  | unicli arxiv search

Multi-arg desktop command

bash

cat > /tmp/render.json <<'EOF'
{ "scene": "/Users/me/project/main.blend", "output_dir": "~/renders", "frame_start": 1, "frame_end": 240 }
EOF
unicli blender render --args-file /tmp/render.json

Debug-first workflow

bash

unicli describe youtube transcript         # 1. understand the contract
echo '{"url": "https://…"}' | unicli youtube transcript --dry-run   # 2. preview
echo '{"url": "https://…"}' | unicli youtube transcript             # 3. run

Version contract

v0.214.0+ required for stdin-JSON auto-detect, --describe, and consistent MCP tool discovery metadata
v0.213.1 or earlier agents should fall back to unicli schema <site> <cmd> and explicit -- flag args
