FAQPage Schema
How do I run literal terminal commands without modification?

To run literal terminal commands without modification, invoke the /shell prefix followed by your command. The Skill executes the exact command as-is, reports the exit status, and returns any stdout or stderr output directly.

Can I execute shell commands on demand for quick debugging checks?

Yes, you can execute shell commands on demand for quick debugging checks by invoking /shell. It runs the literal command directly in your environment, reports the exit status, and outputs any stdout or stderr generated.

Does this command execution tool alter my input before running it?

No, this command execution tool does not alter your input before running it. It executes the literal shell command exactly as written following the /shell invocation, without interpreting, rewriting, or modifying the text.

When should I use direct terminal execution instead of automated scripting?

Use direct terminal execution for basic tasks and quick checks when you need immediate results without automation overhead. Invoke /shell explicitly to run safe, direct commands in your environment and report the exit status.

Are there safety limitations when running shell commands on demand?

Yes, safety limitations apply: you should only use this to run safe, direct terminal commands when explicitly invoking /shell. It executes commands as-is without security filtering, so avoid destructive or untrusted inputs.

Why does my shell command execution not return the expected output?

Shell command execution reports the exact stdout, stderr, and exit status of the literal command run. If output is unexpected, verify the command syntax itself, as the tool executes it as-is without interpretation or modification.
