SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you want an AI assistant to run an exact shell command without rewriting, explaining, or inspecting the repository first, this Skill guarantees the command is executed verbatim in the terminal. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Literal Command Execution: Treats all text after the /shell invocation as the exact command to run, with no modification or improvement. - Minimal Overhead: Skips repository inspection and explanation unless the command itself requires repository context. - Use Case: You type "/shell git status --short" and the assistant runs exactly that command in the terminal, then reports the exit status and any relevant stdout or stderr. ## Quick Start Invoke /shell followed by the exact terminal command you want executed, such as asking to run /shell ls -la to list directory contents.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an exact shell command through an AI assistant?▼

Invoke /shell followed by the exact command text. The assistant treats everything after the invocation as the literal command and executes it in the terminal without rewriting or explaining it first.

Will the assistant modify or improve my shell command before running it?▼

No. The command is executed verbatim as typed after the /shell invocation. The assistant is explicitly instructed not to rewrite, explain, or improve the command before running it.

What happens if I invoke /shell without any command text?▼

The assistant will ask you which command to run instead of guessing. It only executes when there is explicit text following the /shell invocation.

Does the shell skill inspect the repository before running commands?▼

No, it skips repository inspection by default. It only examines repository context when the command itself requires that context to execute correctly.

What output does the shell skill return after running a command?▼

It runs the command first, then briefly reports the exit status along with any important stdout or stderr output produced by the command.
