What it does
The skill is a router for the single `metabot` command line of MetaBot Personal Edition, which replaces the retired `mm`, `mh` and `mb` binaries. It covers CLI and durable-state behavior only, while project execution policy belongs in the workspace `AGENTS.md`. Reference files cover searching, reading, creating, sharing and deleting Meta Memory, browsing and installing skills, inspecting agents and sending durable Agent Bus messages, T5T status, and scheduling or runtime inspection. Agent Teams use a separate `metabot-team` skill.
The CLI talks to a Personal Core at `http://127.0.0.1:9200` by default, overridable with `METABOT_CORE_URL`, and authenticates with `METABOT_CORE_TOKEN` or the first line of `~/.metabot-core/token`. `metabot agents whoami` shows the current identity, and `metabot send` returns message, session and run identifiers, with `--session` and `--idempotency-key` available when a retry must target the same run. Global and project skill destinations are separate scopes, and returned IDs should be kept for later recovery.
When your agent uses it
- Searching or saving notes in MetaBot's shared memory
- Sending a durable message to another agent over the Agent Bus
- Installing or publishing a skill through the skill hub
- Scheduling work or inspecting a MetaBot runtime
Example prompts
- “Search my MetaBot memory for notes about the billing migration.”
- “Send the research agent a durable message asking for the latest competitor summary.”
- “List the skills available in the skill hub.”
Requirements
- The `metabot` CLI and a running MetaBot Personal Core
- `METABOT_CORE_TOKEN`, or a token file at `~/.metabot-core/token`
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 916637e. 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).
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
METABOT_CORE_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
MetaBot CLI loads about 573 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Unified MetaBot CLI for personal Memory, Skill Hub, durable Agent Bus messaging, agent registry, Agent Teams, T5T, scheduling, and bridge runtime operations.
MetaBot Personal CLI Router
metabot is the single CLI for MetaBot Personal Edition. Legacy mm, mh,
and mb binaries are retired. This Skill documents CLI and durable-state
semantics only; project execution policy belongs in the workspace AGENTS.md.
Command References
| Surface | Reference |
|---|---|
| Search, read, create, update, share, or delete Meta Memory | references/memory.md |
| Browse, install, or publish a Skill | references/skills.md |
| Inspect Agents or send durable Agent Bus messages | references/agents.md |
| Coordinate an Agent Team | Use the separate metabot-team Skill |
| Read or write T5T status | references/t5t.md |

Fast Path

metabot t5t push <project> <YYYY-MM-DD> "entry"
metabot healthRun metabot help or metabot <surface> --help before assuming an optional
bridge-local command is available.
Authentication And Scope
- Personal Core defaults to
http://127.0.0.1:9200. - Override it with
METABOT_CORE_URLfor another user-configured Core. - Use
METABOT_CORE_TOKEN, or the first line of~/.metabot-core/token. metabot agents whoamishows the current Core identity.metabot sendreturns durablemessageId,sessionId, andrunIdvalues; pass--sessionor--idempotency-keywhen a retry must target the same logical run.- Project and global Skill destinations are distinct discovery scopes.
- MetaBot's own
metabotandmetabot-teambundles are global-only; project mirrors are retired outside discovery roots so stale copies cannot shadow updates.
Output
Commands may return document IDs, paths, message IDs, Task IDs, Run IDs, and session IDs. Preserve the identifiers needed for later inspection or recovery.

Questions about MetaBot CLI
What does MetaBot CLI do?
Documents the unified `metabot` CLI for personal memory, the skill hub, durable agent messaging, the agent registry, T5T status and scheduling. The skill is a router for the single `metabot` command line of MetaBot Personal Edition, which replaces the retired `mm`, `mh` and `mb` binaries.md`.
When should I use MetaBot CLI?
MetaBot CLI fits situations like: searching or saving notes in MetaBot's shared memory; sending a durable message to another agent over the Agent Bus; installing or publishing a skill through the skill hub; scheduling work or inspecting a MetaBot runtime.
How do I install MetaBot CLI in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add xvirobotics/metabot --skill metabot -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/skills/metabot in xvirobotics/metabot) into .claude/skills/metabot in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install MetaBot CLI in Codex?
Run `npx skills add xvirobotics/metabot --skill metabot -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/skills/metabot in xvirobotics/metabot) into .agents/skills/metabot in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use MetaBot CLI in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add xvirobotics/metabot --skill metabot -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/metabot, .gemini/skills/metabot, .github/skills/metabot and .opencode/skills/metabot in your project.
What does MetaBot CLI need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, MetaBot CLI needs credentials named METABOT_CORE_TOKEN. Our summary lists: The `metabot` CLI and a running MetaBot Personal Core; `METABOT_CORE_TOKEN`, or a token file at `~/.metabot-core/token`.
Does MetaBot CLI access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is MetaBot CLI safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does MetaBot CLI use?
MetaBot CLI is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does MetaBot CLI use?
About 573 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 693 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to MetaBot CLI?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with MetaBot CLI: Munder Difflin Hive Sync (HarnessMD/munder-difflin, 8.6k stars), Autonomous Agent Harness (affaan-m/ECC, 276k stars), SkillOpt Sleep Cycle (microsoft/SkillOpt, 18k stars) and SkillOpt-Sleep Self-Improvement Cycle (microsoft/SkillOpt, 18k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
