Agent Exec

agent-exec

Use this skill when you need to run the local agent-exec CLI, select an agent, or install skills.

When to use

• Run Codex/Claude/Cursor via a single wrapper command.
• Install or update skills using the open agent skills ecosystem.
• Capture a JSON summary of git changes after an agent runs.

Instructions

1. Run agent-exec from the repo root unless a different --dir is required.
2. For normal tasks, run:
   • npx agent-exec "<prompt>"
   • If a specific agent is required: npx agent-exec "<prompt>" --agent codex|claude|cursor
   • To pass through agent-specific flags: npx agent-exec "<prompt>" -- --model ...
3. For skills installation, run:
   • npx agent-exec skills add <owner>/<repo>
   • Add -g for global installs and -y to skip prompts.
4. JSON output uses headless defaults (codex exec, claude -p, cursor --print). Override with AGENT_EXEC_*_ARGS (set to empty to disable defaults).
5. Default output is JSON. Use --format text only if human-readable logs are explicitly needed.
6. Codex has an experimental "run terminal in background" capability. If it is enabled, prefer that for long-running commands so the agent can continue while the job runs.
