What it does

Tw CLI Search is an agent skill from TimeWarpEngineering/timewarp-nuru. Search for CLI commands and tools installed on your system. Use when you need to find specific functionality, discover available commands, or explore what CLI tools are available.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Route-based CLI framework for .NET - Nuru means 'light' in Swahili. The licence is Unlicense.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to find specific functionality
  • Discover available commands
  • Explore what CLI tools are available

Example prompts

  • “/tw-cli-search”

Workflow steps

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

  1. On-demand indexing - When you search, the tool checks if the CLI is indexed
  2. Auto-index - If not indexed or version changed, runs cli --capabilities and indexes results
  3. SQLite FTS5 - Full-text search with Porter stemmer for fast keyword matching
  4. Database location - ~/.nuru/index.db

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a55d08a. 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:

    • dotnet

    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

Tw CLI Search loads about 664 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 166 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~664

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.

Search for CLI commands and tools installed on your system. Use when you need to find specific functionality, discover available commands, or explore what CLI tools are available.

nuru - CLI Search Tool

Search and discover commands across Nuru-based CLI applications installed on your system.

Package: TimeWarp.Nuru.Search Repository: https://github.com/TimeWarpEngineering/timewarp-nuru

Installation

bash
dotnet tool install --global TimeWarp.Nuru.Search

Commands

Search for Commands
bash
nuru search --query "commit"
nuru search --query "push" --group git
nuru search --query "build" --cli ganda

Options:

  • --query / -q - Search terms (keyword matching)
  • --group / -g - Filter by group path prefix
  • --cli / -c - Limit results to a specific CLI
  • --limit / -l - Maximum results (default: 50)
Index Management
bash
nuru index list                    # Show indexed CLIs
nuru index rebuild --cli /path/to/cli  # Index a specific CLI
nuru index rebuild --all           # Rebuild all indexes
nuru index clear                   # Clear the entire index

How It Works

  1. On-demand indexing - When you search, the tool checks if the CLI is indexed
  2. Auto-index - If not indexed or version changed, runs cli --capabilities and indexes results
  3. SQLite FTS5 - Full-text search with Porter stemmer for fast keyword matching
  4. Database location - ~/.nuru/index.db

Search Behavior

  • Keyword matching - Searches across pattern, description, and group path
  • Case-insensitive - "Commit" and "commit" return same results
  • Group filtering - Use --group to narrow to a specific command group
  • CLI filtering - Use --cli to search within a specific application

Output Format

Returns JSON compatible with --capabilities output:

json
{
  "cli": "ganda",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "query": "commit",
  "group": "git",
  "endpoints": [...]
}

Integration with Nuru CLIs

Any CLI built with TimeWarp.Nuru supports --capabilities output, which this tool indexes:

bash
# Index any Nuru-based CLI
nuru index rebuild --cli /path/to/my-cli

# Then search across all indexed CLIs
nuru search --query "deploy"

Examples

bash
# Find all commit-related commands
nuru search --query "commit"

# Find push commands in the git group
nuru search --query "push" --group git

# Search only within ganda CLI
nuru search --query "kanban" --cli ganda

# List what's indexed
nuru index list

# Rebuild index for a specific CLI after update
nuru index rebuild --cli /usr/local/bin/ganda
