# Purpose Spawn a new terminal window to execute CLI commands. This skill is for generic command execution, NOT for spawning AI agents. For AI agents, use the `spawn:agent` skill instead. ## Variables | Variable | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-------------| | LOG_TO_FILE | false | Write full terminal output to debug file | | CAPTURE | false | Block and return output directly | ## Instructions **MANDATORY** - You MUST follow the Workflow steps below in order. Do not skip steps. 1. Identify the CLI command the user wants to run 2. Run `<command> --help` first to verify syntax and options 3. Execute the command in a new terminal using `fork_terminal()` ## Red Flags - STOP and follow Cookbook If you're about to: - Execute a command without checking its --help first - Assume you know the command syntax - Skip the --help step "because it's simple" - Spawn an AI agent (use `spawn:agent` instead) **STOP** -> Run `<command> --help` first -> Review output -> Then proceed ## Workflow **MANDATORY CHECKPOINTS** - Verify each before proceeding: 1. [ ] Understand the user's request 2. [ ] **VERIFY**: This is a CLI command, NOT an AI agent request 3. [ ] READ: '../agent/fork_terminal.py' to understand the tooling 4. [ ] Follow the Cookbook: Read './cookbook/cli-command.md' 5. [ ] **CHECKPOINT**: Ran `<command> --help` and reviewed options 6. [ ] Execute fork_terminal(command, log_to_file=False, log_agent_output=False) ## Cookbook ### CLI Commands - IF: User req
