AI CLI Dispatch

Use this skill when the user wants to run a coding task through an AI CLI client such as Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode.

The skill discovers installed clients, resolves versions, selects the best available tool, and forwards the task with arguments intact.

Use the local helper from the installed skill directory:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/ai-cli-dispatch
scripts/ai-cli-dispatch --help

Setup

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/ai-cli-dispatch
npm install

Commands

scripts/ai-cli-dispatch list --json
scripts/ai-cli-dispatch exec --client codex --prompt "refactor this function"
scripts/ai-cli-dispatch exec --client claude --prompt "add tests for auth middleware"
scripts/ai-cli-dispatch exec --client opencode --prompt "migrate to ESM"

Use --json for machine-readable command output.

Client Discovery

The skill searches for the following clients in order:

• codex — OpenAI Codex CLI
• claude — Anthropic Claude Code
• opencode — OpenCode CLI

Run list to see which clients are installed and their resolved versions.

Output Rules

• Normal JSON output redacts local file paths and credential metadata.
• Use --debug only when deeper troubleshooting requires internal paths and resolved config metadata.
