Terminal Command Execution

Overview

Use this skill to run terminal commands with minimal risk and predictable outcomes. Prefer fast inspection, explicit intent checks, and verification after each state-changing step.

Workflow

1. Clarify goal and scope.

• Infer the exact command target from context (path, service, tool, environment).
• If request is ambiguous and risky, ask one concise clarifying question.

2. Pre-flight checks.

• Confirm working directory and required binaries.
• Inspect current state before changing it (for example ls, git status, process/listen state).
• Prefer non-destructive probes first.

3. Execute commands incrementally.

• Run the smallest command that advances the task.
• For multi-step tasks, validate each step before continuing.
• Use reproducible commands and avoid interactive flows when non-interactive options exist.
