What it does

CLI Command Development is an agent skill from SAP-samples/hana-developer-cli-tool-example. Create or update CLI commands, routes, utilities, and tests in this repo. Use when adding or modifying bin/, routes/, utils/, or related tests.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 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. It works with SAP and Visual Studio Code. The repository describes itself as: Learn how to build a developer-centric SAP HANA command line tool, particularly designed to be used when performing SAP HANA development in non-SAP tooling (for example from VS… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “/cli-command-development”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the target file(s) and the command/feature scope.
  2. Apply the relevant instructions
  3. Make minimal, testable changes following existing patterns.
  4. Update i18n properties for any new user-facing text.
  5. Run targeted tests only if needed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26cbc4e. 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.

    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

CLI Command Development loads about 501 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 164 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~501

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.

CLI Command Development Skill

Use this skill for CLI-related implementation work across commands, routes, utilities, and tests.

When to Use

  • Adding or modifying CLI commands in bin/
  • Updating routes in routes/
  • Modifying shared utilities in utils/
  • Adding or adjusting tests in tests/
  • Updating i18n text and translations

Procedure

  1. Identify the target file(s) and the command/feature scope.
  2. Apply the relevant instructions:
    • CLI command development rules
    • Route development rules (if under routes/)
    • Utility module development rules (if under utils/)
    • i18n translation and text handling rules
    • Testing rules and utilities reuse
  3. Make minimal, testable changes following existing patterns.
  4. Update i18n properties for any new user-facing text.
  5. Run targeted tests only if needed.

Notes

  • All user-facing text must use text bundles (bundle.getText).
  • Keep CLI command options and validation consistent with existing commands.
  • Prefer existing helpers in utils/ rather than adding new ones.
