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
