At a glance

MUST consult before running ANY bit command. An agent skill from teambit/bit.

  • Development work in your project
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Bit CLI is an agent skill from teambit/bit. MUST consult before running ANY bit command. Do NOT guess bit commands from memory. This skill tells you the right command, correct syntax, subcommands, and flags.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `CLI_REFERENCE.md` and `README.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with React, Vue.js, JavaScript and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered development workspaces with reusable components, architectural clarity and zero overhead.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/bit-cli”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4bc779a. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • bit.dev

    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

Bit CLI loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 948 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
~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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:89
    npmrc [sub-command] - configure .npmrc file with Bit Cloud registry and authentication settings

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 948 words (~2,049 tokens).
