FAQPage Schema
How do I run Claude CLI locally and save the output as a reusable artifact?▼

To run Claude CLI locally and save a reusable artifact, use the omx routing workflow to execute your prompt and automatically store the interaction transcript under the .omx/artifacts directory for later auditing or reuse.

What is the best way to get private, on-device AI advice without sending data to the cloud?▼

For private, on-device AI advice, executing the Claude CLI locally through an omx workflow keeps your queries on your machine while generating a persistent local artifact of the interaction for auditable outputs.

Do I need a specific environment setup to execute local Claude CLI queries and generate artifacts?▼

Yes, executing local Claude CLI queries requires a local Claude CLI installation and an omx routing workflow to run the commands and save the resulting interaction artifacts under .omx/artifacts.

Can I use omx to document my AI prompts and responses for later auditing?▼

Yes, you can use omx to document AI prompts and responses for auditing. The workflow routes your local Claude CLI query and automatically produces a reusable artifact capturing both the prompt and the output.

Does ask-claude work without an active internet connection?▼

The skill is designed for private, local environments requiring a Claude CLI installation and an omx routing workflow to execute commands and save artifacts locally. Specific offline capabilities depend on your underlying Claude CLI configuration.

Why should I save AI interactions as .omx artifacts instead of just reading the CLI output?▼

Saving AI interactions as .omx artifacts captures the prompt and Claude output in a reusable format, enabling future reference and auditing. This provides an auditable trail of local interactions that standard CLI terminal output does not persist.
