# cli-ai-tools output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: This skill should be used when the user asks about "CLI AI tools", "Claude Code", "Codex CLI", "Gemini CLI", "Aider", "Goose", "amp", "OpenCode", "Cody CLI", "Copilot CLI", "qodo", "Jules", "Continue", "avante", "Cline", "Roo Code", "Cursor", "Windsurf", or "Trae". Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions any AI coding assistant, asks about terminal-based AI tools, wants to compare CLI agents, needs help with commands, flags, configuration, model selection, installation, or troubleshooting of any AI coding tool, even if they don't name a specific tool. Use when this capability is needed..
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “Tool Index / Anthropic: Claude Code / OpenAI: Codex CLI” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “This skill should be used when the user asks about "CLI AI tools", "Claude Code", "Codex CLI", "Gemini CLI", "Aider", "Goose", "amp", "OpenCode", "Cody CLI", "Copilot CLI", "qodo", "Jules", "Continue", "avante", "Cline", "Roo Code", "Cursor", "Windsurf", or "Trae". Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions any AI coding assistant, asks about terminal-based AI tools, wants to compare CLI agents, needs help with commands, flags, configuration, model selection, installation, or troubleshooting of any AI coding tool, even if they don't name a specific tool. Use when this capability is needed.”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “Tool Index / Anthropic: Claude Code / OpenAI: Codex CLI” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files, run shell commands, read environment variables; may access external network resources; requires OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / Gemini API keys.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files, run shell commands, read environment variables; may access external network resources; requires OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / Gemini API keys.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. The source mentions slash commands such as `/help`, `/compact`, `/clear`, `/config`, `/permissions`; use them first when your agent supports command triggers.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files, run shell commands, read environment variables.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “Tool Index / Anthropic: Claude Code / OpenAI: Codex CLI”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# cli-ai-tools
## When to use
- This skill should be used when the user asks about "CLI AI tools", "Claude Code", "Codex CLI", "Gemini CLI", "Aider"…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “Tool Index / Anthropic: Claude Code / OpenAI: Codex CLI” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files, run shell commands, read environment variables; may access external network resources; requires OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / Gemini API keys.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.
