By name: command-execution description: Run installed executables directly for cross-platform automation. Use when a task needs CLI-based work, scripted workflows, repository commands, or tool-driven operations that are broader than simple file reads and writes. metadata: author: oneshotprompt version: "1.0"
Use this skill when the task is best handled by invoking an existing executable instead of chaining many narrow file operations.
Workflow:
- Identify the exact executable needed and confirm it is the narrowest reasonable choice.
- Prefer RunDotNetCommand for .NET and C# tasks. Use RunCommand for other installed executables.
- Set the working directory explicitly when relative paths, repository files, or config-adjacent assets matter.
- Pass the executable and arguments directly. Do not rely on shell syntax.
- Review exit code, standard output, and standard error before deciding on the next step.
- Summarize what the command actually did instead of inferring side effects.
Guardrails:
- These tools do not run through a shell. Do not use pipes, redirection, command substitution, shell built-ins, or &&.
- Prefer the dedicated filesystem tools when a simple read, write, copy, move, or delete is enough.
- Prefer RunDotNetCommand over RunCommand when the task is centered on dotnet, C#, or this repository's build and run scripts.
- Do not run destructive commands unless the task clearly requires them.
- Never claim success when the exit code or tool output says otherwise.
