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.
