agent-cli

daveebbelaar/bama Agent tooling

agent-cli is a skill in daveebbelaar/bama, last changed 29 Oct 2026. It can install more skills, change agent settings, run shell commands, reach the network and bundle scripts — read the findings before installing.

From the author

Optional command line and MCP server for a macOS app, so Claude Code, Codex, and scripts can drive it (list, add, change, search, act) through the running app. Use when the user wants agents to work with their app or its data, asks for a CLI, an MCP server, or automation for the app, or says "Claude should be able to use my app".

How the check works

Pattern check: nothing flagged

That isn't proof the skill is harmless.

Install

Each tab says whether it installs commit 639893c, the one we checked, or the latest version.

OpenCode also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Goose also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Zed also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Roo Code also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Factory Droid also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Junie also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

Amp also looks in .agents/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/, so use the Any agent steps.

No install command here reaches Kiro. Copy the skill's folder into .kiro/skills/ in your project, or ~/.kiro/skills/ for all your projects. daveebbelaar/bama/skills/code/agent-cli (opens in a new tab)

Antigravity also looks in .agents/skills/, so the Any agent steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Antigravity looks.

Cline also looks in .claude/skills/, so the Claude Code steps reach it with This project. For All projects, see where Cline looks.

No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie and Amp. With This project, Any agent also reaches Antigravity and Claude Code reaches Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

If Claude Code was already running and this created the skills folder, run /reload-skills.

Skills in the Claude apps belong to your account rather than to a project.

Make agent-cli.zip, with the skill folder at the top level:

tmp="$(mktemp -d)" &&git clone -q --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --no-checkout https://github.com/daveebbelaar/bama.git "$tmp" &&git -C "$tmp" fetch -q --depth 1 origin 639893c397278256f1ae204dd8f837eb82bd6527 &&git -C "$tmp" sparse-checkout set -- skills/code/agent-cli &&git -C "$tmp" checkout -q 639893c397278256f1ae204dd8f837eb82bd6527 &&out="$(mktemp -d)" &&cp -R "$tmp"/skills/code/agent-cli "$out"/agent-cli &&(cd "$out" && zip -qr - agent-cli) > agent-cli.zip &&rm -rf "$tmp" "$out"

In Claude, open Customize > Skills, select +, then + Create skill > Upload a skill, and choose agent-cli.zip.

On Free, Pro and Max plans, turn on Code execution and file creation (Create and edit files in newer settings) under Settings > Capabilities.

Or use the skills CLI from skills.sh. Installs the latest version, not the one we checked. The skills CLI reports installs to skills.sh unless you set DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1.

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 639893c · 1 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 639893c on 1 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

How the check works Report an incorrect finding

Format check

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

Agent Skills specPasses with warnings
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- Warning
  Fields outside the spec: argument-hint (read by Claude Code and VS Code). Uploads to the Claude apps and API, and the spec's validator, reject the file; most agents ignore these fields. O1
  Fix: Delete them for a portable skill, or keep them if you only target the agents that read them.
- Note
  There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
  Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
Claude CodePasses
Claude apps & API uploadFails
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Error
  Upload and packaging fail on fields outside the spec: argument-hint. O1
  Fix: Delete them, and keep your own data under metadata as text values.
- Note
  The description is 331 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
  Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes with warnings
Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.
- Warning
  Fields outside the spec: argument-hint. Codex ignores them; OpenAI doesn't say whether its upload accepts them. O1
  Fix: Delete them, or move your own data under metadata as text values.
VS Code & CopilotPasses
