File contents

Advai External CLI

Use this skill to work with external CLIs managed through advai cli.

When to Invoke

Invoke this skill when the user wants to:

Discover available external CLIs
Inspect what an external CLI supports
Install CLI definitions from a GitHub repository
Update or uninstall an already managed external CLI
Execute a supported external CLI through advai cli <name> ...

Do not use this skill for built-in advai commands such as browser, skill, kb, or tui.

Preconditions

This skill depends on the advai CLI from https://github.com/Advai-X/advai-cli.

Before running commands:

Ensure advai is installed and available on PATH.
Ensure the advai cli subcommand is available in the current installation.
If advai cli is missing, stop and guide the user to install or upgrade advai from https://github.com/Advai-X/advai-cli.
Ensure opencli is installed and available on PATH.

Start with:

advai cli list

If opencli is missing, report that clearly before attempting install or execution.

Core Commands

Discover and inspect:

advai cli list
advai cli list --search <text>
advai cli info <name>

Install from GitHub:

advai cli install <github-url>
advai cli install <github-url> --cli <name>

Maintain installed CLIs:

advai cli update <name> --yes
advai cli uninstall <name> --yes

Execute through advai:

advai cli <name> ...

Operating Guidelines

Use advai cli info <name> before execution when the command set is unfamiliar.
Use --search to narrow a large registry.
Use --cli <name> when a GitHub repo contains multiple CLI definitions.
Prefer the proxied advai cli <name> ... form when the user wants a stable entrypoint through advai.
If install or update fails, capture both stdout and stderr because the wrapped toolchain can surface useful diagnostics there.
If advai cli is not recognized at runtime, direct the user to install or upgrade advai from https://github.com/Advai-X/advai-cli before proceeding.

Examples

Inspect and install a CLI:

advai cli info github
advai cli install https://github.com/example/tooling-repo --cli github-helper

Run a proxied command:

advai cli github-helper issue list
